'Designed especially for walking and cycling, there are over 31 miles of purpose-built paths in Gwynedd. Established along disused railway lines, these are quiet rural paths that lazily meander into the Gwynedd countryside.

Lôn Las Ogwen    6.5 miles
'This part of the route which runs between Porth Penrhyn and the village of Glasinfryn was developed in the 1980's and is also known as Lôn Bach. The disused narrow gauge railway upon which the path has been built was constructed by the Penrhyn Estate to transport slate to the quarries at Bethesda for export at Porth Penrhyn. Today, the route passes the over the Viaduct at Glasinfryn to Tregarth, and past Penthyn Quarry into the Ffrancon Valley.'

Lôn Las Menai    4.5 miles
'The path runs between the historical fortified town of Caernarfon and the village of Y Felinheli. From the path which was opened in 1995, you can catch a glimpse of the Isle of Anglesy, the green stretch of coast across the turbulent waters of the Menai Straits. Running parallel with the Menai, the compacted dust path passes through urban areas and open countryside to the outskirts of Y Felinheli.'

Lôn Las Peris   1 mile
'From Llanberis, the path meanders lazily along the sheltered shore of Llyn Padarn. Shortly after a tunnel, the path connects onto the public road network from where you can cycle through the villages of Cwm y Glo and Llanrug, and follow the Seiont River valley towards Caernarfon. Alternatively, you can explore the historic countryside of this slate valley known as the gateway to Snowdonia by following country lanes to Deiniolen or Penisarwaun, or you can cycle up the valley towards Nant Peris.'

Lôn Eifion    12.5 miles
'This well used cycle route has breathtaking views of the Llyn Peninsula to the south west, Caernarfon Bay and Anglesey to the west and north, and the mountains of Snowdonia to the east. Lôn Eifion is a green avenue of native trees and plants which stretches between the busy historical town of Caernarfon and the rural village of Bryncir to the south. A combination of tarmac and compacted dust surfaces have been provided along its  length.'

Trawsfynydd Route   3 miles
'The path follows the eastern shore of Trawsfynydd Lake through woodlands and open country. Much of the path was built on land owned by the Trawsfynydd Nuclear Power Station, which is currently being decommissioned. Be aware that in the vicinity of the Power Station and its visitor centre, the route crosses roads used by vehicles. A cycle path provides a link along the A470 to Trawsfynydd village.'

Mawddach Trail    9 miles
'Winding lazily along a disused railway track, the Mawddach Trail is owned and managed by the Snowdonia National Park Authority, and follows the Mawddach estuary for 9 miles from Barmouth to Dolgellau. The path has further been developed between Penmaenpool and Dolgellau to cater for disabled users.'
