The oldest and biggest national park in Wales
Snowdonia (“Eryri”) National Park in northwest Wales offers you a spectacular blend of beauty, adventure and culture. As you venture through this enchanting park, you’ll be mesmerised by the shimmering lakes and rugged mountains.
The best-known feature is Snowdon (“Yr Wyddfa”), the highest peak in Wales and England. You can challenge yourself to hike the 3,560 feet (1,085 metres) to the top for a rewarding experience. For unforgettable views without the hike, you can board a train up 2,556 feet (779 metres) to Clogwyn Station.
Sprawling over 823 square miles (2,131 kilometres), the park is home to enough breathtaking scenery to delight any nature lover. Have your pick of tumbling waterfalls, peaceful lakes and ancient woodlands to explore.
Wander around the quaint villages, such as Betws-y-Coed and Beddglert, scattered throughout the park. Immerse yourself in Welsh history and visit some of the many castles, churches and ruins.
You’ll find some of the world’s finest medieval castles on the outskirts of Snowdonia National Park. In fact, Beaumaris, Harlech, Caernarfon and Conwy all collectively form a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
