The walk starts at the Snowdonia National Park 'Ty Nant' car park, below Cadair Idris. Most folk parking here will set off up the mountain on the Pony Path (see Walk 874). We however, leave the crowds behind to head over the hill to the King's Youth Hostel and climb to the ruined chapel of Rehoboth. A steady climb next, to the moorland below the distinctive Pared y Cefn-hir hill. Once past the hill, we now reach the two lakes of Llynau Cregennen, where there are paths aplenty to explore.
Once you've taken your fill of these beautiful lakes, it's not too far down to the valley floor and the quiet lane back to Ty Nant.
Dog owners, please note the presence of livestock over much of the route and also a few distinctly dog-unfriendly ladder-stiles.
