Im planning on heading to wales soon, and will be based in Corwen.
Any recomendations for easy trad routes around this area? Any fairly easy classics?

Do spectre and Brant direct, both fantastic. Up to VS classic rock will provide some fantastic suggestions.

Good suggestions here but if you want easy definitely avoid meshach and spectre

EDIT: Also, which guide books are the best for the areas near Corwen (eg cloggy, llanberis pass and maybe stuff near llangollen)?

Thanks

For the Snowdonia area get the Ground Up selected guide "North Wales Rock" as a starter then if you start visiting more you can purchase the CC guides which are more comprehensive.

For the Llangollen area, get Clwyd Limestone by Rockfax.

I've been researching and the Llangollen area appears to be quite loose rock. Is it bad there?
