Leave No Trace
Respect for nature is at the heart of ExploreWalesTrails. We believe that enjoying the outdoors comes with the responsibility to protect and preserve it.
Every guide we create and every trail we highlight carries the principle of “Leave No Trace,” encouraging visitors to tread lightly on the land. By embracing this ethic, we can collectively safeguard North Wales’ natural beauty, from its forests and rivers to its ancient ruins and coastal paths. Nature looks after us by offering solace, beauty, and adventure; in return, we owe it our respect and care.
