Summary
The Hiraethog Trail is a long-distance walking route in the Hiraethog region of North Wales, located east of Snowdonia National Park. It is an unspoilt area of rolling heather moor, deep forests, and quiet lakes. The trail links the small villages of Pentrefoelas, Cerrigydrudion, Llanfihangel Glyn Myfr, and Llanrhaeadr via public footpaths and quiet lanes across some of Denbighshire and Conwy’s most beautiful and remote countryside. The trail offers an authentic experience of the Welsh countryside, its language, and village life, while its forests, moorlands, and rivers support an abundance of wildlife.
