About walking in Wales
Wales is a small country with a lot of walking. Eryri (Snowdonia) has Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest mountain in Wales, and rugged ranges such as the Glyderau and the Carneddau. Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) has broad grassy ridges and waterfalls, and the Pembrokeshire Coast is a national park designated mainly for its coastline.
In 2012 the Wales Coast Path made Wales the first country with a continuous path along its whole coastline, around 870 miles. Offa's Dyke Path follows the border with England, and Gower, Llŷn, Anglesey and the Clwydian Range offer gentler days with sea or valley views.

Questions about walking in Wales
Are there group walks in Wales?
Yes. Walkmates currently lists 12 upcoming dated walks in Wales. Each listing shows where to meet and how to join, and you can browse them without an account.
Which is the easiest path up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)?
The Llanberis Path is the longest but most gradual route, and it runs alongside the mountain railway. It is still a full mountain day: summit weather can be severe even in summer, so check the mountain forecast and turn back if conditions change.
How long is the Wales Coast Path?
Around 870 miles (1,400 km). Together with Offa's Dyke Path, it lets you walk almost all the way around Wales.
Conditions, access and opening arrangements change. Check the route, the forecast and any organiser's instructions before you set off, and see our walking safety guide.
