Walking in the rugged UK hills
There's no better way of blowing away the cobwebs than by heading out for a brisk, bracing walk. Do you prefer a dawdle along the Thames or a stride across the Pennines? Send us your suggestions for scenic strolls, more challenging hikes and great walking holidays - and, if you know a good pub for warming up or cooling down in afterwards, tell us about that as well.

    Druid Circle

    Posted by Arecla 3 January 2009

    The Druid Circle is an ancient, historic site in the Snowdonian Mountains. If you are looking for solitude and tranquility and enjoy a brisk hike, this is the place to visit.
    Follow the A55 coastal route, past Conwy and turn off at the village of Penmaenmawr. From here the Mountain Road will lead you right up to the foot of the Snowdonian Mountains from where you may follow the footpath to the Druid Circle. There is no vehicular traffic so a good pair of walking boots is adviseable. Also, there are no refreshments or ameneties along the way. The ideal backpack hike.
    There is a train station in Penmaenmawr but trains will only stop on request. Be sure to inform the conductor if you wish to stop at Penmaenmawr station. The village offers a cafe, chip shop, Spar and chemist as well as a wonderful beach at the foot of the Snowdonia National Park.
