A guidebook to 30 low-level and easy day walks in the northern part of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park in Wales. All circular except for Walk 25, which makes use of the railway link between Porthmadog and Blaeneau Ffestiniog, the routes vary in length and terrain ensuring that there is something for walkers of all levels of fitness and experience.
The walks range from 4–22km (2–14 miles) in length and can be enjoyed in 2–7 hours, although most are at the shorter end of the scale. They are arranged geographically into 4 areas: the north coast and the lower Conwy valley, Betws y Coed and Gwydyr forest, Snowdon and the Ogwen valley, and the Vale of Ffestiniog and the west.
- 1:25, 000 or 1:50, 000 OS maps for each walk
- Details given of terrain, refreshments and access for each walk
- Information given on local history, geology and wildlife
- GPX files available to download
- Part of a 2-volume set, an accompanying Cicerone guidebook Snowdonia: Low-level and Easy Walks – South is also available

He has been walking in Eryri (Snowdonia) for most of his life and explored these mountains thoroughly as a student. He writes infrequently for a few different online publications, and developed the Snowdonia Way, a new long-distance trail, his guidebook to which was published in 2017 by Cicerone. Alex has led overseas expeditions to various places including Svalbard, Oman and India, but always looks forward to a walk in the mountains of the UK. He enjoys walking, mountaineering and fellrunning and lives in Cumbria, in the western reaches of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
