WHERE IS TANRALLT?

It is also the base for the national mountaineering centre Plas Y Brenin, where an exciting mixture of adventure days can be booked, from climbing, sea kayaking, and mountain walking.
Capel Curig has a fantastic atmosphere of traditional Welsh life, mixed with the vibrance of outdoor adventure.
The village itself has three hotels all serving local produce and ales, a well stocked shop, and two cafes. There are wonderful riverside walks for all abilities taking in the natural beauty and wildlife, catch a glimpse of the otters playing in the river, but you have to be up early! or spot a pipistrelle bat at dusk, or simply settle for the dance of the Dipper on the banks of the Llugwy.
The Gwydyr forest is not only home to unique forest walks with an abundance of wildlife, but is home to some fantastic mountain bike trails, geared for all abilities. Bike hire is available in nearby Betws Y Coed.
Capel Curig really is ‘The Heart of Snowdonia’ the majestic Mount Snowdon horseshoe with the twin lakes, dominates the skyline ‘The best view in Snowdonia’ The Times 2009.
The other great peak which shelters the village is Moel Siabod, although not as high as Snowdon, covers a great landmass, all the way to nearby Blaenau Ffestiniog and Dolwyddelan. The Glyderau and Carneddau mountain ranges are only 5miles from Capel Curig .
