Join Andrew for this relatively short 8km walk from Betws-y-Coed to Llyn Elsi and back.

We'll meet at the camp site, and drive from there to Betws-y-Coed - we'll sort out car pooling at the meeting point. I'll allow a little time in Betws-y-Coed to grab lunch from a shop. 

Betws-y-coed is the gateway to Eryri National Park and is surrounded on all sides by stunning woodlands hiding a multitude of reservoirs. 

Llyn Elsi is one of those reservoirs and supplies water for Betws-y-coed. It is one of the smaller lakes in this area and provides a nice walk around that isn't too strenuous. From Betws-y-coed we will make our way up to the lake, circle it and then make our way back through the woods to complete the circle.

At the end of the walk, I will head to a cafe or pub and people are welcome to join me, or you can look around Betws-y-Coed or head straight back to the campsite.
