Pushchair Walks
14 December 2007
This week Clare proves that having young kids is no barrier to walking, with Hilary Bradnam and friends.
Clare meets Hilary Bradnam, author of Walks in North Wales with a Pushchair and tries out one of the walks in the book, with a group of Hilary's family and friends. This route is a lovely circular walk near Betws-y-coed in Snowdonia with views across Snowdonia and countryside rich in history.
Map: OS Landranger LR115 Start/End The bridge at Pont-y-Pant, Conway, LL25 Distance: About 4 miles Terrain: Reasonable footpaths all the way; easy to follow. There's a bit of up and down and you'll need a fairly sturdy pushchair. Suitable for: All walkers
Route: By road to Pont-y-Pant, then South-West following the river path to the park at Dolwyddelan, then turn left and head back through the path which runs through the old quarries to return to the start.
