Overview

This second day of the two days break in Snowdonia starts at a lay-by on the A470 near Pont Y Pant Station. We will follow a path for a couple of miles shadowing the Afon Lledr in its valley through former mine workings giving evidence of it's industrial past. The route crosses over the normally violent Afon Lledr at a sturdy bridge and from here we ascend up a steepish but short path through the woods to join a forest trail. Eventually, we join a barely used and potentially spongy and boggy footpath until we meet the Roman Road and make our way down crossing the A5 at the Miners Bridge. From here it's a short distance back to Betws.
