Day Walks in Snowdonia features 20 circular routes, between 5 and 13.7 miles (8km and 22km) in length, suitable for hill walkers of all abilities. Also included are two of the UK’s classic scrambles: The Bochlwyd Horseshoe and The Snowdon Horseshoe.

The routes are split into three areas – Northern Snowdonia, Central Snowdonia and Southern Snowdonia – and include walks to the most iconic and beautiful peaks in the National Park, including; Snowdon, Y Glyderau, the Carneddau peaks, Moel Siabod, Cnicht, the Rhinogs, and Cadair Idris.

The author, Tom Hutton, is a Wales local and keen hill walker and a well-respected journalist for a range of outdoor publications. This is Tom’s second book with Vertebrate Publishing, following the successful and popular Wales Mountain Biking.  

Each route in this guide is described with easy-to-follow directions and details of distance, navigation information, refreshment stops and is plotted on clear and easy to use Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 mapping. The walks are illustrated with stunning photography by the author. Also included is a detailed Appendix. 
 

About the author

Tom Hutton is an award winning writer and photographer with a true passion for exploration and a love of high places. Since quitting his ‘proper’ job in his late 30’s, his work has appeared in all the major UK outdoor publications and he has also written and illustrated a number of guidebooks – including Wales Mountain Biking for Vertebrate. He’s never happier than when he’s in the mountains, whether walking, climbing, skiing or even mountain biking and he has a self-confessed unhealthy obsession with maps. He originally hails from Bristol but now lives among the mountains of Mid Wales with his journalist partner, Steph Duits and Black Labrador, Du.
