Cnicht, set in the heart of the Moelwyn hills, is a marked contrast to the busier peaks in Snowdonia - no artificial paths or summit cafes out here, just miles of boggy ground that can be a joy or a nightmare, depending on your outlook (and your boots).
This route starts and finishes in the Nantgwynant valley, served by the Snowdon Sherpa buses. There is a cafe nearby, more commonly used by people descending Snowdon's Watkin path, but equally welcome after a day in the bogs.
