Learn about the geology of North Wales on a guided mountain walk on Moel Eilio

Join us on this beautiful, relaxed walk with a focus on geology and the landscape, accompanied by an experienced Geologist who will give us the geological history of the area and some information about types of rock and their impact on the geomorphology. Kathy Kavanagh was formerly a mineral exploration geologist who did extensive fieldwork throughout Africa, but now regularly hikes for pleasure and studies the rocks back home in Britain.

We will begin in the popular town of Llanberis, walking a circular route to Moel Eilio, a height of 726m. It is a less trodden path with spectacular views across to Snowdon, all the surrounding mountain ranges and the Menai Strait with Anglesey beyond.

Ideal for everyone from beginners (with a reasonably good level of fitness for walking) to experienced individuals alike.
