Here your trail leaves the valley floor as you start your ascent of Yr Wyddfa, the highest peak in Wales via the Watkin Path. An original path to the summit, the Watkin Path has the most height gain with starting near sea level. The route leads through a beautiful ancient native oak woodland, slowly climbing into Cwn Llan with it’s stunning waterfalls.
