The Rhinogs constitute one of the wildest regions of Snowdonia. The scenery is spectacular and, because there are no roads over the ridge, the area surrounding this has retained its remoteness. Indeed, as a result of its bronze age sites, medieval roads and houses, gold and manganese mines, even wild goats, the area has a sense of mystery which is unique in Wales.

The walks described here are concentrated to the east, with some walks to the north and south, of the main Rhinog ridge, all readily accessible from Bronaber and Trawsfynydd, and the larger centres of Dolgellau and Porthmadog
