Best OS maps for walks from Ty Newydd, Corwen

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.
