COUNTRY PATH, RHOSCOLYN HEAD.

On the south side of the headland the path is narrow and clings to a ledge between the wall and the cliff edge. Just as one wonders whether one is going to run out of path a sudden bend in the wall opens out on to this delightfully wide section of cliff top. On the west slope of Rhoscolyn headland, stands St Gwenfaen’s Well, having two sunken rooms including an enclosed pool whose water is credited with curing mental problems – traditionally an offering of two white quartz pebbles had to be made.

SNOWDONIA MOUNTAIN RANGE AT SUNRISE.

The Snowdon range has 11 peaks over 600m in height, of which 3 are over 914m (3000 ft). These include Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales. The range is very varied from the easy Llanberis path, to the rolling hills of Moel Eilio and the challenging route of the Snowdon Horseshoe. Navigation is not too difficult (the main paths up Snowdon are well marked), although normal precautions should be taken. Crib Goch should not be attempted in poor conditions. It is a serious climb in winter, and is dangerous in strong winds.
