Cambrian Way

The Cambrian Way is a long distance footpath in Wales, running from Cardiff to Conwy. Initially an unrecognised path, it was officially recognised in 2019, and is named after Cambria, a latinised name for Wales. It is primarily a mountain walk passing over many of the highest and most scenic areas o

f Wales. It was pioneered in the 1960s and 1970s by walker Tony Drake, who later produced a guidebook of the walk. Initially, the official recognition relates only to the approval of national park authorities and most local authorities involved in the waymarking of the route in lowland areas and this is expected to be completed in 2020. This is not as extensive as the waymarking of National Trails and does not include mountain areas where waymarking is not generally permitted. Following negotiation, the whole route is now marked on the 1:25,000 Ordnance Survey map.
