Go left out of the car park, right towards the cafe and then immediately right again, on the ‘Llwybr Llyn - Traws - Lake Path’ trail. Follow this signed track along the edge of the lake, to a gate and road by the power station. Continue straight on.

Follow the trail/markers, climbing steeply and eventually descending back down to a junction and gate at the bottom. Go straight ahead on the lane, continuing around the edge of the lake. Turn left at the junction, left at the main road (on the cycle path) and then left again at the crossroads, into Trawsfynydd village.

Continue ahead, up through the village and down to the main road. Go left on the cycle path. After a layby, follow the cycle signs left, away from the road. Bear right on the cycle path, back alongside the lake (on your left). Turn right at a three-way junction, to the Trawsfynydd cafe. The car park is just beyond this.
