Aber Falls and the North Wales Path, 2022
13 people attending
17 places left
An easy walk from the village of Abergwyngregyn following the river up to the magnificent Aber Falls. We will then follow part of the North Wales path with views over to Anglesey and the Great Orme. This was the first walk I lead for OutdoorLads in March 2013 and some of the photos were taken then.
After the walk we will call into the Cafe Henfelin for tea and cakes.
