Cwm Pennant
This circular walk explores the beautiful Cwm Pennant in the Snowdonia National Park.
This stunning valley stretches from north of the villages of Dolbenmaen and Golan towards the Drwys y Coed pass, between Moel Hebog and Crib Nantlle.
The walk starts at some roadside parking a few miles north east of Dolbenmaen. You can then follow a mixture of country lanes and footpaths through the area which includes lovely views of the Afon Dwyfor and the surrounding mountains of Snowdonia.

Bridge over Afon Dwyfor. Just below this bridge over Afon Dwyfor, this pool provides a refreshing dip after a hot day walking in the mountains above Cwm Pennant.

Pennant Chapel. The little chapel in Cwm Pennant has a date stone for 1870. Although only an infrequent visitor, I can remember when this chapel had a congregation but it's now for sale, presumably for conversion into a habitation.
