Cwm Hesgyn route (AG15)

The Hesgyn Valley, enclosed on three sides by gently rounded heather-clad hills, reminds one of the Pennines or the back of Skiddaw. A gorgeous sight on a bright autumn day.

Go through the gate off the A4212 at 884403 and follow a farm road through pastures. On topping a small rise at 882414 the long secluded Hesgyn Valley comes into view.

Another 0.5 mile brings you to a lonely dwelling R – only sheep and wind from here on! Keep R where a track breaks away L to skirt the slopes of Foel Boeth, and cross the Hesgyn by a bridge at 884428. The scene is wilder now and soon your cup is filled as Llyn Hesgyn springs into view. Set in a hollow, dotted with trees, it is a pretty sight and as blue as the best on a sunny day.
