Snowdonia

Discover picturesque Snowdonia in North Wales, an area of rugged mountain peaks, long sandy beaches, crystal clear lakes and an array of wonderful historic sites and attractions to see. Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales and is well known for the spectacular Mountain Railway allowing you to explore the beautiful landscape at the rooftop of Wales.

However, although the main feature of the region is the hills and mountains, Snowdonia is more than just that with its long stretches of rivers, lakes and coast offering stunning scenic views. Delight in the large variety of wildlife habitats along with the many wonderful towns and villages to explore.

Caernarfon 
Caernarfon is located at the southern end of the Menai Strait between North Wales and Anglesey. This charming town is home to the impressive Caernarfon Castle, one of the greatest buildings of the Middle Ages, built on the orders of Edward I in the 13^th century. Caernarfon also boasts picturesque narrow streets, a redeveloped waterfront and plenty of shops and cafés.

Conwy
Another of Edward I’s imposing fortifications can be found in Conwy. Conwy Castle, along with Caernarfon Castle, is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and towers over this remarkable medieval walled town. Here you can also find cosy quayside pubs, snug cafés and a quaint harbour, all overlooked by the mighty mountains of Snowdonia.

Betws-y-Coed
Picturesque Betws-y-Coed is known as the Gateway to Snowdonia National Park. This lovely village has a distinctly Alpine feel thanks to the Gwydyr Forest that surrounds it. There’s plenty to explore here with a range of art galleries, independent shops selling gifts, homemade produce and outdoor wear plus cafés, restaurants and pubs.

Llanberis
With its lovely lakeside location at the foot of spectacular Mount Snowdon, the thriving village of Llanberis has plenty of attractions including the National Slate Museum, Electric Mountain (a hydro power station visitor attraction) and the ruins of medieval Dolbadarn Castle. The village is also the starting point of two narrow-gauge lines, the Llanberis Lake Railway and Snowdon Mountain Railway.

Isle of Anglesey

The Isle of Anglesey lies just off the north-west coast of Wales. Measuring 276 square miles, the island is separated from the mainland by the Menai Strait and is accessed by two bridges – the Menai Suspension Bridge, the first modern suspension bridge in the world designed by Thomas Telford, and the Britannia Bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson.

Anglesey has so much to offer visitors with spectacular landscapes, unspoilt coastlines (much of which has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and picturesque towns and villages.

The beautiful coastal town of Beaumaris lies on the east coast of the island. The highlight of the town is the magnificent Beaumaris Castle (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the last great castle built, but never completed, for Edward I in the 13^th century in his bid to control the Welsh. The town also offers a lovely seafront with a pier and fantastic views over the Menai Strait and Snowdonia, charming streets full of picturesque cottages and a mix of medieval, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture. 

The island is also home to a village with the longest place name in Wales and the world’s longest railway station name – Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantisiliogogogoch, which translates as The Church of St Mary in the Hollow of the White Hazel Near the Fierce Whirlpool and the Church of Tysilio by the Red Cave!
