Best Pram Walks in North Wales
Getting outside with a pram isn’t always as straightforward as it should be – especially in North Wales, where paths can quickly turn rocky, muddy or steep.
But after plenty of trial and error (and more than a few turned-around walks), I’ve found some great pram-friendly walks in North Wales that actually work for parents with babies and toddlers.
These are walks I’ve done myself with a pram – routes with wide paths, manageable surfaces and enough flexibility to suit nap times, feeds and the inevitable need to stop and stare at ducks.
If you’re looking for scenic, low-stress walks where you don’t need a carrier or an all-terrain pushchair, these are some of my favourite pram friendly walks in North Wales…

Snowdonia National Park / Eryri
Snowdonia isn’t the first place people think of for pram walks, but there are some brilliant lower-level routes that work really well.
Llyn Padarn, Llanberis
Llyn Padarn is one of the best pram friendly walks in North Wales. The path around the lake is mostly flat and follows an old railway trackbed and quiet lanes, making it ideal for pushchairs.
It’s an easy, scenic walk with mountain views, lakeside sections and a lovely woodland nature trail that’s great for slightly older children too.
