In the Footsteps of the Ancients

Come join me on my favourite hike in the Snowdonia National Park taking in archaeological sites along the way. We'll leave the World Heritage Conwy Castle and walk up through the gorse and heather to the top of Conwy Mountain to check out the Iron Age fortress there ascending 1, 000 feet but we'll be rewarded by the views over to tLlandudno and across to the island of Anglesey. We then continue across undulating moorland crossing little streams and We'll probably see the wild mountain ponies and almost definitely the welsh mountain sheep. We eventually reach the Druids Circle - a site that's most definitely much older than when the Druids lived, dating back to neolithic times. We then follow old droving roads descending the mountain past old granite quarry workings down to finish at the bus stop where we'll take a regular bus (leaving about every half hour) back to Conwy. This hike lasts 4 hours and ascends(and descends) over 1000 feet and 12 km.. You'll need good hiking footwear

Meeting in Conwy town, we'll check you have all the clothing and equipment you need and then head out of town to hike ascending to the top of our first peak. - We head on across the moors sometimes over stoney or boggy ground until we reach our destination of the Druids Circle. - Then, it's off down through sheep fields and old quarry workings - We reach the village of Penmaenmawr where there is a pub, shop and the bus stop back to Conwy. - Buses go about every half hour. *Pauses to take breath enable us to enjoy the view. *As your tour is private, you don't have to worry about the pace because that'll be your choice.
