Grinllwm.
Distance: 8 miles; Climb:1400'.
Leave Chester 8-00 a.m.
This is another walks from Dave Berry's book "Walks Around Betws-y-coed and the Conwy Valley". In the past we have often extended the walk by going to Llyn Gerionydd, but this time I thought the shorter walk would be better for starters. It is a walk of great variety and includes two waterfalls and the remote ancient Llanrhychwyn church and the outlying hill of Grinllwm. In the past we have heard Cuckoos calling on this walk.
Those planning to walk: Martyn and Roger.

This is always an enjoyable walk whatever time we do it.

The walk is also described as an undulating walk exploring the countryside on the edge of the Peak District. This is a walk that we have come to like and regularly appears on the list but normally in Winter. It is useful to bring binoculars just in case we get a chance to see the Summer visiting bird..
