There are several car parks along the Llyn Ogwen lake that can be used for hikes. If you park a little further away from the popular starting point Pen-y-benglog, you can hike along the beautiful Llyn Ogwen and enjoy the view of the lake.

Llyn Ogwen is a wonderful place - just avoid it at all costs on Bank Holiday weekends!!
