INSPIRED TO ACCOMPISH THE BERWYN MOUNTAINS?
October 3rd 2024
The Berwyn Mountains are a stunningly beautiful part of North Wales that is overshadowed by its big brother Snowdonia, which sits to the west of the Berwyns. It is a place of wild beauty and a haven for walkers. Unlike Snowdonia, which often feels crowded and busy, the Berwyns get fewer visitors which means you often have paths & trails to yourself. If you’re looking for somewhere to go walking in North Wales, you’ve just stumbled upon one of the region’s best-kept secrets.
Berwyn Mountains – WALKS from the DOORSTEP
From the bunkhouse door, there are endless walking routes in the area to explore the Berwyn Mountains.
The Biggest Challenge – You may start the Berwyn Range – 177 miles in total from here. This mountain range is less walked than mountains in Snowdonia, but the Berwyns includes some high ridges with beautiful views and challenging aspects. The Berwyn Range roughly stretches from Llangollen in the east to Bala in the west. The highest peak is Cadair Berwyn, at 830m with another 24 peaks above 600m waiting to be explored. This would be a exciting adventure to plan for! The route is made up of 5 sections with easily accessible starting & finishing points.
The Highest Mountain- Cadair Berwyn is the tallest mountain in the Berwyn Range. The name translates to ‘Chair of the White Summit.’ On a clear day, the views from the summit of Cadair Berwyn are stunning, with Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons visible. These are the most popular routes to Cadair Berwyn.
The Natural Wonder – Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall is the tallest single drop waterfall in Britain; falling 80m and it’s located in the Berwyns. It’s a spectacular waterfall and there are walks exploring the waterfall as well as venturing further into the Berwyns. These are recommended walks that include the waterfall.

Summits, Lakes & Waterfalls – It is a great opportunity to walk to the famous waterfall from the bunkhouse doorstep. A 13-mile route that takes in Cwm Maengwynedd, Berwyn Mountain summits including Cadair Bronwen, Cadair Berwyn & Moel Sych. Walking near Llyn Lluncaws & Tan-y-Pistyll (home to the famous waterfall), there is lots to experience on this route.

Berwyn Mountains – VILLAGES
Around the Berwyns there are villages which allow you to explore different routes and sections of the Berwyn Range.
They are invaluable for the facilities they offer & supplies you can access.
Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant – is to the south of the Berwyn Mountains. It has two pubs ‘The Hand’ and ‘The Wynnstay.’ As well there is a fabulous butcher’s shop, a small cafe, fish & chip shop & a spar and village store to pick up essentials from. It is a nice place to visit if you are in the area or passing through.
Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog – lies to the east of the Berwyn Mountains. It is a beautiful village lying on the River Ceiriog. It boasts a fantastic Inn called ‘The Hand.’ There are no shops in the village.
Llandrillo – is to the west of the Berwyns and is a small village with a wealth of history. It is set in an astonishing ancient landscape and great for accessing routes to the Berwyns. The pub is sadly now closed.
