SNOWDONIA
A land of sea, mountains and castle, a land filled with
heritage and history and so so much more...
Snowdonia Mountains & Coast satisfies all these expectations- and
more. It could hardly be otherwise. Some of Britain's biggest,  boldest
mountain spring from its soil. The coastline is bathed in beauty.
National Parklands, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Heritage Coast fill
much of the landscape. The attractions here include castles, 'great
little trains' and slate caverns. And there's a world-class choice of
activities on tap, everything from walking to mountain biking, sailing to
golfing.
Visitors also appreciate the area's unique 'sense of place', an almost
mystical amalgam of landscape and local culture, together with the 'Croeso' -
'Welcome' - that's such a part of the Welsh character.
This hospitality extends to the accommodation on offer. With our choice
of Bed and Breakfast, self Catering Cottages and Camping/Caravanning there's
sure to be something for everyone in our family run Business, we like to think
that we can offer a taster of what life in Wales is really like, relaxed and
comfortable.
It's all here, right on your doorstep. And it's all here , so read on:-
This National Park, the largest in Wales covering around 840 square miles
(2,175 sq km) was founded over 50 years ago. Yet it's still capable of
surprising its many visitors. We all know that it takes its name from
Snowdon - in Welsh Yr Wyddfa, 'The Tomb'. But that's just the opening
chapter in Snowdonia's story. This is unquestionably the most scenically
varied National Park in Britain. Within its boundaries you'll find
mountain, moor and sea, rocky peaks and green hills, wooded valleys and
sublimely beautiful estuaries.
 let's
start right at the top, at 3,560ft/1085m is the highest peak in Wales and
England. Its slopes, a volcanic jumble of screens and cliffs rising to
razor-edge summits, have attracted walkers and climbers since the earliest days
of the Great Outdoors.
It was amongst the boulder-strewn Glyderau, a neighbour of Snowdon
that the team that first conquered Everest trained in the early 1950s. But
those classic mountains in the Park's north-western corner are just one piece in
an intricate jigsaw. Snowdonia has its gentler side too. Around
Ffestiniog and Betws y Coed there are sheltered vales clothed in ancient
oakwoods, rivers and waterfalls, and the hauntingly beautiful heather moorlands
of the undisturbed Migneint.
Keep traveling and you'll come to BALA, a small town set beside the largest
natural lake in WALES and surrounded by green hills and mountins. Further
south still there are more mountains - but again subtly differed to those of
rugged Snowdon. The RHINOGYDD above Harlech are one of Britain's few
remaining true wildernesses. And the southern gateway to the Park is
guarded by mighty CADER IDRIS, a giant summit looming over the rooftops of
DOLGELLAU.
COASTING ALONG
But it's in the west that you'll discover Snowdonia's biggest
surprises. THE NATIONAL PARK also embraces a spectacular coastline of
sandy beaches, dunes, headlands and esturaries. Mountains meet the sea in
a memorable encounter along the DYFI, MAWDDACH and DWYRYD estuaries, on a coast
dotted with charming resorts and villages.
So you can while away the morning on the beach and walk the hills in the
afternoon. That's the unique beauty of Snowdonia - and its scenic
diversity is matched by a wealth of outdoor activities. Follow in the
footsteps of those Everst pioneers or take a gentle stroll along a
riverbank. Go wildlife watching at nature reserves or head for the hills
on horseback. Enjoy canoeing, sailing and watersports or explore the
countryside by cycle or mountain bike.
