Trail description

From the road end in Cwm Cywarch near Dinas Mawddwy, the path climbs up the Hengwm valley beneath the crags of Craig Cywarch onto the Aran ridge and north to the summit of Aran Fawddwy (905 m), the highest mountain in southern Snowdonia outside the Cadair Idris range. The walk is 10.6 km out and back with about 760 m of climbing. The upper ridge is rough and boggy in places and needs care in mist.
