Llyn Idwal
Site of interest | Capel Curig
A glittering tarn nestled amidst the craggy peaks of an area known as Devil's Kitchen, beneath the hills of Y Garn and Glyder Fawr. At the northern edge there is a small beach area - the perfect place to stop, sit down, take off your boots and watch sparkling water lapping against the shoreline. Probably one of the most serene and beautiful places in Snowdonia National Park.
Getting there: Park in the pay & display carpark at Ogwen Cottage, just off the A5. There is also plenty of free parking in lay-bys along the road beside Llyn Ogwen.
Route: From Ogwen Cottage, follow an easy path for less than a kilometre to reach the tarn. Alternatively, link with longer walks to Y Garn, Glyder Fach or Glyder Fawr. Find more information from the National Trust here.
