The Meirionnydd Ramblers are a friendly and welcoming group. We offer regular and varied walks in the wonderful countryside in and around southern Snowdonia.
The isolated little ridge of Y Gamallt rises from a sea of damp moor-grass and heather, with the two lakes of Llynnau Gamallt lying beneath its westward facing cliffs. Although it’s not a lofty ridge, it offers all the rewards of many more demanding mountain walks - remoteness, solitude and wonderful views. We set out past Llyn Morwynion and head up through the remote valley of the Afon Gamallt. A short stretch across marshy moorland leads us on to a narrow path winding its way around heathery crags along the ridge of Graig Goch, with views of the twin lakes below. Descending from the ridge, we next head for the prominent top of Y Garnedd and thence back to the start.
Group grade B-
This walk includes some short distances across rough, often boggy, heather moorland. This is reflected in the grade.
STOP PRESS It is possible that you might encounter delays getting to the start of the walk using the B4391 from Llan Ffestiniog. Filming is taking place one day this week on the stretch of road coming out of the village. The council were unable to say which day. If the filming takes place on Thursday, you may be held up for a while but traffic will be let through at 15 minute intervals. Please leave plenty of time to get to the start.
