Nant Ffrancon Valley Scenic Road

Highlight • Cycleway

This is the point in the Nant Ffrancon valley where the extraordinary sights of Tryfan, the Glyders and the Carneddau really open up. Surely one of the most beautiful valleys in Snowdonia, as this narrow lane leads you high above the valley floor, the views just get better and better.
