- The devil's kitchen is a natural wonder in Snowdonia national park. This hike takes you up the devil's kitchen on to Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach. I parked in the free car park on the main road about 0.5km from the Youth Hostel.
We begin this walk at Idwal YHA where there is a paid car park costing roughly £3 (I arrived at 2:00pm and it was full). From here we cross the bridge and head right towards Llyn Idwal. This is a popular spot and will be fairly busy with picnic folk during the warmer months.
Walking to the far end of the lake we break of the shoreline path and head towards The Devil''s Kitchen. An imposing ascent, this is steep but not classed as an official 'scramble'. Once most of the height has been gained there is a walk over to look up at the imposing waterfall that creates the 'steam' from The Devil's Kitchen.
Continuing up we reach a style over a wall which marks the end of the steepest section. The path then levels for a short time before meeting the ascent on the left to Glyder Fawr. This ascent is again steep but also a little scrabbly. Once the crest has been reached it is a steady ascent to the summit.
From here, there is a rocky walk over to Glyder Fach. The path goes straight past this summit but I decided to clamber up the rocky top. Nearby is The Cantilever Stone, a precariously balanced and very recognisable feature of the mountain. After a turn on the Cantilever, we head down the scrabbly descent past Tryfan where it levels out and the path back to the YHA becomes steady.
I hope you enjoy the video and the walk if you choose it!

This is a very rewarding walk with great views (if you have better luck than me on this day), I hope you enjoy it😃. More info in the description. Thanks for watching ⛰👍🙏
I didn't start hiking until I semi-retired at 67 and went up and over the Glyderau when I was 73. We walked the reverse way to you, Tony, and I remember the worst part for me was the scree down before reaching Devil's Kitchen. Nicely presented video thanks.
That a good track at 73 Jack. A couple of people passed me coming down that way and weren’t happy about it. My route off was also a bit tricky but probably preferable.
Thanks for the support Jack, I appreciate it. I hope there is something on my channel to inspire you on your next adventure. Enjoy it out there 🥾😁⛰️.
Oh I like that looks a steep one another one on bucket list 😂. Thank-you for time and effort you put into these xx
It is a great little spot. Ideal if you are in snowdonia for a couple of days. Glad I could show it to you😁. Thanks for your support Louise, enjoy it out there ⛰️☀️🥾
Great video Tony. Looks like a Steep climb! Thanks for another informative video😊
Thanks for watching. It’s an awesome route🥾⛰️😁
Excellent film as always Tony. I appreciate the effort you have put in with the cutaways and drone footage. It's hard work, especially being single crewed! ATB.

Hi Dave, It really is a great walk, one I’ve had my eye on for a while. Thanks for the support. Enjoy it out there mate ☀️🥾⛰️
One of our favourite walks and one we did together when we first met , did it reverse to your route and in heavy clagg and decended devils kitchen in pooring rain so was a little tricky
Glad you got to do it, it’s a great walk. Hopefully I can get it without the claw next time 🤞🏻. Devils kitchen is definitely a great sight. Enjoy it out there mate 👍🥾⛰️
