The Pathfinder guide to the northern and eastern parts of Wales offers graded and colour coded walks in a variety of settings that range from easy strolls on the north coast to challenging climbs like Carnedd Dafydd and Snowdon itself.

This guide complements Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula Walks in the Pathfinder series. It contains some more walks in the national park, but extends eastwards to embrace the less well-known but highly attractive countryside of north-east Wales that lies between Snowdonia and the English border: the Berwyn Mountains, Mynydd Hiraethog, the Clwydian Hills, the Dee valley and the Vale of Clwyd. The routes in this guide range from an entirely flat walk beside the River Clwyd from Rhyl to Rhuddland to ascents of Snowdon, Carnedd Dafydd and other peaks on the Berwyns and Clwydians.

This guidebook describes 30 low level and easy walks that are suitable for all abilities. The hikes covered are in the northern part of Snowdonia National Park, close to Conwy, Betws-y-Coed, Llanberis and Porthmadog. Most of the walks take around 2hr, with others ranging from 2 to 6hr. Each walk has an accompanying Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 map showing the route, easy-to-follow route descriptions and information on distance, time, ascent, refreshments and where to park. The guide also includes more general advice on walking in the area, historical information, and facts about the points of interest seen on each walk. In this part of Wales, neolithic settlements and Roman ruins stand beside the medieval castles of Welsh Princesses and the modern remnants of the mining industry. Myths and legends abound, and many walks relate to the stories of King Arthur and Merlin, Anfanc and Welsh fairies.

This book draws on a collection of images, mainly of the aforementioned types, often in colourful sector liveries, set in the striking rural and industrial landscapes that typify South Wales.
