Of the three dead end lanes running south from Llanberis, I though this was the best. It has the most unspoiled rural feel and the better view of Snowdon, being a little further from the foot of it.

Definitely worth going through for some further hard climbing on a surface less good now, to a finish by some dramatic old farmhouse ruins and great views... read more

Of the three dead end lanes running south from Llanberis, I though this was the best. It has the most unspoiled rural feel and the better view of Snowdon, being a little further from the foot of it. Briefly steep out of Llanberis, then left onto an easier lane. often with a strip of grass down the middle. Steepens a lot before reaching a gate. Definitely worth going through for some further hard climbing on a surface less good now, to a finish by some dramatic old farmhouse ruins and great views. A tricky unmade track continues a bit higher at the right hand bend (not shown on this profile).
