The Brenig Walking Trail


The perfect adventure in the great outdoors, this moderate, circular walking trail around Llyn Brenig Lake is expected to take 4 hours to complete.

There’s plenty of wildlife to look out for as you walk. Early mornings offer rare glimpses of deer and otters; there are red squirrels and badgers, grouse and buzzards. At certain times of the year you might be lucky enough to catch the spectacular sight of an osprey catching fish in the lake.
