Distance: 8.5 miles - 12Km (there & back)
Miners' Track, Snowdon
The Miners’ Track was built to serve the Britannia Copper Mine on Snowdon but it is not the route originally used to serve the mine.
Distance: 8 miles - 13 Km
(there & back)
Snowdon Ranger Path
This path up Snowdon is thought to be the earliest of the six main routes to the summit. Before the road through Llanberis Pass was built, men lugged copper ore from the Britannia Copper Mine on Snowdon up the eastern side of the mountain to Bwlch Glas.
Distance: 8 miles - 13Km (there & back)
PYG Track, Snowdon
This is the most rugged and challenging of the six paths up Snowdon, which leads along the foothills of Crib Goch. The route up Crib Goch and along the ridge is extremely dangerous and should not be attempted by novice walkers.

Pony Path, Tŷ Nant, Cader Idris
