The Best 28 Ridge Walks in Wales

Trust the experts - these are the Welsh 'ridge' walks you really cannot afford to miss!

One of the best things about walking in Wales is the opportunity to walk along high mountain Ridges* with grand vistas on either side.

In fact, after doing all that uphill work to reach a mountain summit - it would be a shame not to venture at least some way along the ridge before descending again to a well earned drink.
