Nantlle Ridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nantlle Ridge is the name given to a small range of hills in Snowdonia, north Wales which runs south-west from the village of Rhyd Ddu for a distance of about 9 kilometres, ending above Talysarn and Nebo in the Nantlle Valley.

Y Garn, seen here from Rhyd Ddu, is the usual starting point for the Nantlle Ridge walk.

Starting from the Rhyd Ddu end, the Nantlle Ridge is composed of Y Garn (633 m), Mynydd Drws-y-Coed (695 m), Trum y Ddysgl (709 m), Mynydd Tal-y-Mignedd (653 m), Craig Cwm Silyn (734 m), Garnedd-goch (701 m) and Mynydd Craig Goch (609 m).

The Nantlle Ridge offers excellent hill walking with fewer crowds than on the more popular parts of Snowdonia. It can be started from either end, but the Rhyd Ddu end tends to be the most popular. There are no great technical difficulties, although a little scrambling may be required on some parts of the ridge.
