Hi everyone,

We are venturing away from our favoured patch of the Lake District, to explore Wales and have decided upon Ty Newydd as being a reasonable distance to drive for a first venture out towards Snowdonia.  There appear to be three different OS Explorer maps for
Snowdonia itself; if I search for 'OS Map Corwen', another three maps are suggested by the OS website, and I don't want to invest in 6 maps for our first trip to Wales.  Can anyone recommend the best map or two for this area?  I don't want to have to drive
for miles to find a decent walk, but likewise, if there's nothing worth walking around the Corwen area, I don't want to waste money on a map of it.  Any suggestions?

Many thanks in anticpation......

    Try your local library for a 'pre purchase' shuftie.

    If you google, " walks in corwen area" it comes up with a good number of websites, also there is The Dee Valley Way between Corwen and Llangollen and the North Berwyn Way.

    Enjoy your time around Corwen, I was there a few weeks ago reliving my childhood visits to Maerdy, a few miles along the A5.

    Thanks for the suggestions and links - I'd never thought of the library idea - I usually don't get further than the 'historial novel' shelves!!

    Hope you find something. Sorry I didn't explain my post but the small local OS maps produced by Yellow Publications are quite handy and not too pricey.
