Cycle Tracks

There’s more to Bethesda, or ‘Pesda’ as the locals fondly call it, than its quarrying past. You’ll find beautiful scenery, especially along the Lôn Las Ogwen cycling and walking paths. The spectacular lakes of Llŷn Ogwen and Llyn Idwal are in the rocky mountains above the village.

Cwm Idwal

Cwm Idwal is a ‘must-see’, a dramatic natural feature carved by glaciers which attracts hill walkers, naturalists and geologists. Equally compelling are the Carneddau, a wild mountain range dotted with remains from the Bronze Age.
