Cwm Glas Crafnant National Nature Reserve

The National nature Reserve (NNR) of Cwm Glas Crafnant lies at the head of the narrow Afon Crafnant valley, beneath the rocky masses of Crimpiau and Craig Wen.

It is a component of the surrounding Cwm Crafnant Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) which is adjacent to the Eryri SSSI.

Grid Ref: SH734598   Area: 15.02  hectares

Visiting

There is open access on the reserve, with the exception of a fenced area which helps prevent grazing by agricultural livestock.

There are no formal public footpaths, and the nearest public right of way is around 400metres from the reserve boundary.

This route links Llyn Crafnant with Capel Curig, and provides a good view of the NNR from the south.

To reach the reserve:

  • Follow the minor road west and up hill from the village of Trefriw. The lake at Llyn Crafnant is signposted from Trefriw, as a fishing area
  • After five-and-a-half kilometres on the minor road, you will pass Llyn Crafnant
  • For the walker who likes a challenge, there is also a steep walk from Trefriw, up a narrow lane, to reach Llyn Crafnant and the reserve.
