The North Wales / Snowdonia / Gwynedd region
The Snowdonia National Park is the largest in Wales, and covers about 840 square miles. Named after Snowdon, the name is Welsh is Yr Wyddfa, which means “The Tomb”.
Snowdon is 3560 feet high, the highest peak in Wales and England. Its slopes are a volcanic jumble of screes and cliffs rising to razor-edged summits and have attracted walkers and climbers for centuries. The new Snowdon Summit Visitor Centre is due to open in summer 2008.
Within the Snowdonia region are mountain, moors and sea, rocky peaks and green hills, wooded valleys and uniquely beautiful estuaries.
The unique beauty of Snowdonia is that you can spend a morning on a Blue Flag beach and walk the stunning hills in the afternoon. Where the mountains meet the sea, along the Dyfi, Mawddach and Dwyryd estuaries are charming little resorts and villages, mostly with names impossible to pronounce!
This dramatic scenic diversity is equally matched by an absolute wealth of outdoor activities. Go walking or wildlife watching at nature and bird reserves. Enjoy White Water Rafting,canoeing and many other water sports. Head for the hills on horseback, mountain or quad bike. It all is here waiting for you.
