Snowdonia National Park

Snowdonia, in our opinion, the finest of Wales’ three national parks contains some of the most spectacular and magnificent scenery in the British Isles.
This, the home of the highest mountain in Wales and the second highest peak in the UK, mount Snowdon, is also the site of the largest, now abandoned slate mines in the UK. The slate mine museum, is full of information about the roots of Welsh local history and culture. Most of the locals from around here have had their lives built up and knocked down from the rise and fall of the industry.
The history doesn’t stop there though, the Welsh have been fighting for their independence from cruel Roman, Saxon, Viking, Norman and British rulers since the beginning of the last millennium. Indeed the huge dyke stretching the length of the country built by the great Saxon King Offa was intended to keep the fighting Welsh out of beautiful England.
It’s not all about history though, for the brave amongst you, Snowdon is an adventurers’ playground. It offers a wide and varied range of activities to get the adrenaline pumping and was the training ground of Sir Edmund Hilary and his team before their ascent on Everest.
Snowdonia itself will leave you in a state of awe, it’s rugged, striking beauty emanating from every corner of this spectacular landscape.
