Llyn Parc Mawr, Newborough (Easy 2.04 miles / 3.29km)

Deliberately chose a really short, straightforward walk today. I couldn’t be bothered bringing the pushchair so it needed to be one that I knew Anwen could do. The weather was really hot so I wanted somewhere easy and preferably shady. My Nain ( Grandma- Nine ) was with us and she struggles with her knees so, again, something easy was needed.  I’d done this walk a couple of years ago when Anwen really was tiny so I knew it was a good one. I was especially glad I chose this as I drove through Niwbwrch ( Newborough- New-boorch ) and saw that the car park there had signs up saying it was full! Although we struggled to find a car parking space I think everyone else had headed down to the beach (a bit of a trek from our location) and we only met two other families on our walk. Distance: 2.04miles/ 3.29km(according to Strava) Time taken: 1hr 12 moving time (the girls were on a proper go slow today!)

Glynllifon- pushchair friendly (3.09miles / 4.98km)

  (Before I start, I have no idea what’s going on with the formatting in this today. I do apologise!) I’ve really wanted to visit Glynllifon for ages and it really was worth the wait. It’s an absolute gem of a location. We spent pretty much all afternoon there wandering in the extensive grounds. I did take the pushchair with me but Anwen didn’t use it at all today. There were areas that weren’t really pushchair friendly but I managed to drag it up and down as it was empty! There are plenty of routes that are very accessible though... I just went off the “accessible route” piste.  It is worth bearing in mind that there is an entrance fee for Glynllifon. £4 for adults, £2 for children.
