Don’t fancy the high mountains ?

Head due south out of the village and you are immediately on the lower slopes of Moel Siabod with the option to take the trail to the summit of Siabod or do a bit of valley hopping and follow the old tracks over the hill and far away (well it’s not that far) to the beautiful Lledr Valley and the village of Dolwyddelan. Closer to Capel, indeed on the very edge of the village there are delightful walks around the twin lakes of Llynnau Mymbyr, with unsurpassable views of Mount Snowdon.and the Snowdon “horse-shoe”. Or cross the wooden bridge at Plas-y-Brenin and stroll along the tree lined banks of the Afon Llugwy as it tumbles toward the Conwy River at Betws-y-Coed. more information about Capel Curig
