Snowdonia National Park, Visitor & Tourism Guide
Compact and craggy
Compact yet rugged with some of the UK’s most breathtaking scenery. Craggy peaks tower over the visitor to the north around the
Snowdon massif and south around
Cadair Idris. In between are smaller mountain ranges, forests and lakes. On a small scale in comparison to the wilderness of
Scotland but a must for those passionate about mountains.
In
North Wales, inland from the
Lleyn Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and
Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The National Park stretches from close to the north coast at
Conwy down south past
Dolgellau in
Gwynedd. The vast majority of the Park is in
Gwynedd.
Snowdon
Establishe
d in 1951 and ‘Eryri’ in Welsh. Attracts in the region of 4 million visitors a year.
Snowdon is the highest mountain in
England and
Wales at 3,560ft (1,085m) above sea level. Wildly popular with hikers. Those wanting the views without the effort can take the
train to its summit.
Snowdonia’s a compact National Park. We’ve researched the area for over a decade, climbed the ‘Welsh 100’ and explored many of North Wales’s minor peaks. There are an exceptional range of experiences to be had. The main ranges are the
Snowdon massif,
The Glyderau,
The Carneddau, Moelwyns, Rhinogs, Arenigs,
The Arans and
Cadair massif.
Dolgellau and Beddgelert, Betws y Coed and Harlech
Dolgellau is a fine base from which to explore the south of the Park, our favourite is
Beddgelert to the north.
Betws y Coed is exceptionally popular and a great place to shop for your outdoor kit. On the coast, Harlech, is a fine place. Check out our 'Top 10 Recommendations' for other ideas as to where to base yourself for a holiday or weekend away.
World Heritage castles
Snowdonia National Park is surrounded by a ring of UNESCO World Heritage Site casltes (UNESCO ‘Castles and Town Walls of King Edward I of Gwynedd –
Harlech Castle,
Beaumaris Castle,
Caernarfon Castle,
Conwy Castle).
Coastline
The Park has one of its boundaries along the coastline. If coastal scenery is your thing or you fancy a break from the mountains, we'd recommend exploring
Shell Island and the area around
Harlech.
Rainy days
There's plenty to do when the rain sets in. Try the area's various museums and mines, the castles mentioned above and its shops.
