Points of Interest/Notes on this walk:

Tyrau Mawr (big towers) is spelt incorrectly on the OS map as Tyrrau Mawr. It is also sometimes referred to as just Craig-las (the name of the crags).

In 1800, after saving for 6 years, Mary Jones walked the 25 miles from Llanfihangel-y-pennant to Bala to buy a copy of the recently translated Welsh Bible from Reverend Thomas Charles. So impressed was he by her dedication and devotion he went on to found the English and Foreign Language Bible Society in 1804.
