This is a fantastic mountain landscape and a magnet for climbers and outdoor enthusiasts. Over half a million people walk here each year.

The landscape here is incredibly diverse; It’s got huge mountains and sparkling lakes, idyllic moors with purple heather, waterfalls, sheep grazing…there’s everything here. It’s stunning.

All this variety makes Snowdonia’s natural landscape suitable for almost every kind of outdoor activity imaginable. There are activities to suit all age levels, abilities and interests. You can go walking, windsurfing, sailing, diving, running, horse riding, cycling or even white water rafting...

If this isn’t enough, you can also try climbing England’s highest mountain, canoe down one of the worlds most beautiful river estuaries, go off road biking on some of the most breath taking routes in Wales, or with a wetsuit, jump down waterfalls and canyons, then head back for a hot shower and a night in the local village pub.

The possibilities are endless. Where else on the planet can you do such a wide range of outdoor activities?

There are plenty of first class outdoor tours operators in the region that will provide you with all the proper equipment and training if you want to pursue the more adventurous activities.

If you’re not into physical activities, there are plenty of other things you can do here, like photography and painting (there’s fantastic colours and dramatic compositions everywhere you look!). You can also go fishing, try basket weaving or even indulge yourself in a bit of group singing, if you’re really brave.

There are also some places in the surrounding areas that are well worth a visit.
There’s the very attractive Bondnant Gardens, the Snowdon Mountain Railway, the fantasy village of Portmeirion, Ffestiniog Steam Railway, the Castles at Caernarfon, Conwy, Beaumaris and Penrhyn, the famous Swallow Falls and the stunning Fairy Glen. After this, there are still plenty of isolated lakes, historic bridges and idyllic picnic areas left over to discover.
