Not far from Dinas Emrys sits the 'Giants Chair' which boasts wonderful views of the valleys below. Make a circular walk and visit both attractions in one afternoon.

Enjoy a full day out walking across the slopes of Yr Aran, one of the many mountains you can see from Cae Du. You will reach the waterfalls at the foot of Snowdon and can make the journey back via Llyn Dinas to complete a wonderful circular walk. Those with that little bit more energy could even summit Yr Aran!

Walk along the Lon Gwyrfai - one of the National Park's most versatile routes stretching 4.5 miles between Beddgelert and Rhyd Ddu. This route offers fantastic views of Beddgelert, the Gwyrfai valley and Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). Catch the bus back from Rhyd Ddu.

Walk through the village to the foot of Moel Hebog before picking up a trail in Beddgelert Forest.

Climb the highest mountain in England and Wales from the door of Cae Du! Take the Watkin path up and the Cambrian way down for a horseshoe walk.
