Stage 3: Dolwyddelan to Bethesda
The longest of all stages in the Snowdonia Way (36 kms). With more than 30 kilometers to be traversed, you will be passing through Betws-y-Coed and beyond Llyn Ogwen. This stage also offers beautiful mountain vistas and ever-varying landscapes.
Hike from Dolwyddelan to Bethesda
Start your day walking over roman roads near Dolwyddelan, into the neighbouring forests. After a while, you'll walk a bit beside the main road but near the Conwy river. In Betws-y-Coed there are signs of "The Ugly House" which isn't ugly at all. You vanish into the forests again and when you come out, you'll cross a roundabout to enter a beautiful area with grassy hills. This is quite a long stretch. After that, you'll be reaching Llyn Ogwen, a very popular lake among Welsh tourists. It is beautiful. We bought some more food at Canolfan Cwm Idwal and then set our way to the Snowdonia Mountain Hostel, some 6 kilometers down the road.
