Parking and Approach

Normal approach is to take the forestry track and public right of way from the south, beside  Llyn Cwellyn - starting at Planwydd (SH 568 539).  There is no  agreed access  from the northern side of the lake and the land owner  makes it clear that he does not allow public access across that area. Nearest public parking is at Rhyd Ddu village. 
Area information

A wide range of cliffs - mainly traditional and multi pitch inc. the popular Llanberis Pass, Idwal Slabs, Clogwyn du'r Arddu and Cwm Silyn cliffs, but also outlying outcrops such as Carreg Alltrem. Many crags are on CROW access land - but not all especially some of the outcrops which lie on private enclosed land. Most of central Snowdonia is both designated an SSSI and also is an European Special Area of Conservation on account of the upland habitat and associated geology and plants found here.
