Description

Starting from the Snowdon Ranger youth hostel, the Ranger’s Path is a less-travelled but rewarding ascent up Yr Wyddfa, offering a blend of history, serene landscapes, and breath-taking views. As you begin, the path winds gently along grassy moorland, with distant views of Llyn Cwellyn's clear waters and the surrounding valleys. This trail was once used by Victorian tourists led by guides known as "rangers," giving the route its name.

The path soon ascends more steeply, and as you gain height, panoramic views start to unfold, revealing the rugged beauty of Snowdonia’s hills and lakes. Along the way, you'll pass ancient stone walls and scattered ruins, reminders of the area's rich history and the communities who once lived and worked here. Because it's less trafficked than some of the other routes, the Ranger’s Path provides a sense of tranquillity, allowing you to connect deeply with the landscape.

As you reach higher elevations, the trail grows rockier and demands a bit more focus. Ahead, Yr Wyddfa’s summit ridge comes into view, often framed dramatically against the sky. Near the top, the path intersects with the more crowded Llanberis Path, and from here it’s a final push to the summit where we will spend some time having lunch and hopefully capturing some great shots of the landscape. The views from the top on a clear day stretch across Snowdonia, down to the Irish Sea, and even as far as the mountains of Ireland on the horizon.

The Ranger’s Path is ideal for those seeking a quieter journey up Yr Wyddfa, with fewer crowds and a more peaceful encounter with the mountain's raw beauty. It’s a challenging but manageable route, suited for hikers who appreciate a mix of solitude, scenery, and a bit of Snowdonian history.

Description

Moel Eilio stands at 730 m and is only 3 miles from Yr Wyddfa; the summit of which can be seen on a clear day. This hike also takes in the smaller summits of Foel Gron and Foel Goch. 

From the starting point in Llanberis we will take the path towards Bwlch y Groes. Before starting our ascent to the summit via the north ridge, we'll take a quick pit stop for a drink and snack. This is a lovely hike with lots of open grassy areas and views over the whole Eryri range and Nantlle Ridge. It's a varied route with ever-changing views and terrain.

On reaching the summit of Moel Eilio we will have a lunch stop and the opportunity for photographs. We then continue with our hike over Foel Gron and Foel Goch before taking the gentle, scenic descent through the valley with pretty waterfalls and an easy, gradual downhill path, to reach our starting point in Llanberis.  

Cake, coffee or other refreshments await us here!

Description

Helvellyn is the third highest mountain in the Lake District and offers one of the most rewarding views. Standing at 950m, at the summit you will be rewarded with breath-taking scenery, including the ridges of Striding Edge and Swirral Edge. The summit itself takes the form of a broad plateau with a small cairn, a shelter and a trig point.

Although Helvellyn can be approached from numerous directions, our hike will begin at Wythburn Church, from where we climb quite steeply through a small pine forest, emerging on to more open fellside where the path eases, to take in some beautiful streams, waterfalls and rewarding views over Thirlmere and the mountain of Skiddaw in the distance. This is a relatively quiet route and it's worth lingering for an extended snack break/drink to take in the tranquillity before pushing on to the summit. 

After lunch on the summit we will head in a north westerly direction towards Browncove Crags, following Helvellyn Gill on a mostly established path. Again, there are beautiful waterfalls to admire before reaching forest land and taking the route through Highpark Wood back to the starting point at Wythburn Church.

Description

Join us for an exhilarating hike to Bleaklow Head, located on the Pennine Way in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Our journey begins in the charming village of Old Glossop, where we’ll follow a scenic riverside path, following Doctor's Gate, the course of an old Roman Road. Along the way, keep an eye out for wildlife such as mountain hares, a variety of bird species, and even frogs as we make our way toward the open moorland.

As we ascend toward Bleaklow Head, the landscape transforms into vast, wild moors. Upon reaching the summit, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views, including the distant skyline of Manchester on clear days. Throughout the hike, we'll delve into the rich history of the area, exploring the remnants of the B-29 Superfortress crash site—an important piece of World War II history that lies atop the moor. After visiting the site, we’ll continue on to Higher Shelf trig point before beginning our descent back to Old Glossop taking in James's Thorn, with more panoramic views stretching towards Manchester.

The terrain on this hike is rugged and, in many places, unmarked, offering a true sense of adventure. The moors are known for their unpredictability—bright sunshine one moment, a sudden chill the next—so it’s essential to be well-prepared. Make sure to bring sun protection for warmer days, layers for potential temperature drops, and waterproof gear for the famously boggy paths. Proper footwear is a must to navigate the often wet and uneven ground.

Whether you're drawn by the striking scenery, the wildlife, or the intriguing history, this hike promises a memorable experience in one of the Peak District’s most remote and beautiful areas.
