North Wales, Aber Falls, Drosgl, Foel Grach, Foel Fras, Llwytmor Aber Falls.

A trip into the northern Carneddau from Abergwyngregyn in search of solitude and wild horses, I found both.

8 hrs.

Aber Falls.

Plenty of parking above Abergwyngregyn and cheap.

An easy start takes you through ancient woodland towards Aber Falls.

At the falls I head over the bridge to the right and make my way over to the path on the lower slopes of Moel Wnion.

It was here I found a casualty of last years harsh winter.
