One of the finest ridge walks in Wales, often quieter than most other mountain ranges in Eryri (Snowdonia). This route covers the full traverse including the scramble on Mynydd Drws-y-Coed. Navigation off Mynydd Graig Goch can be tricky in fog, trust the GPX here to find the descent towards Llyn Cwm Dulyn and Nebo. A stunning day out.

The official verified line for the Hiraethog Trail 70k. This is a serious endurance challenge that requires good navigation skills on all sections. Our August 2025 team set a new (and first - we think!) FKT for the route in 17 hours and 16 minutes. Challengers to the FKT are welcome!

Hiraethog Trail - Stage 1 (Pentrefoelas to Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr)
Jacob @ Mountain Craft · reviewed 4 months ago
A stunning start to the trail. Crossing the moorland slopes of Mwdwl Eithin rewards you with some of the best views in Denbighshire. Navigation is straightforward on the tracks, but keep an eye on the map when crossing the open farmland above Cerrigydrudion.
Hiraethog Trail - Stage 3 (Cyffylliog to Bodfari)

A faster, greener finish to the route. The drop into the Vale of Clwyd offers welcome relief for tired legs. The link-up with Offa's Dyke at Bodfari is the perfect end to the journey. Tarmac alternatives are possible in the later stages of this leg if necessary.
