Pen-y-Pass
252 MILES ALONG THE CAMBRIAN WAY FROM CARDIFF
Most walkers will want to stay here the night, and there is the option of the two mentioned below for accommodation. However, there is more choice of accommodation, pubs and restaurants further afield. West along the Pen-y-Pass road is Llanberis, and to the east is Capel Curig. There is a regular, but not too frequent, bus service to both. Luckily, there is the large cafe near the bottom of the PYG track in which to lurk while awaiting the bus.
