Snowdonia National Park is a stunning area in northwest Wales, made up of mountains and glacial landscapes covering 823 square miles, with 14 peaks taller than 3000 feet and over 100 lakes. The National Park is home to over 26,000 people and steeped in culture and tradition, with more than half the population speaking native Welsh. Around 10 million people visit Snowdonia National Park every year to explore the many attractions, but don't let that put you off; there are miles of gorgeous Welsh hills for everyone. If you don't want to hike or cycle, then a great way to see around is on one of the many small mountain train journeys - with jaw-dropping views aplenty - across Llyn Pada, Talyllyn, Bala Lake and the Welsh Highland railway, all taking you through the winding countryside. The jewel in the crown, Mount Snowden is the largest peak in England and Wales and offers views across to Ireland on a clear day. There is also a mountain train to the top if you aren't keen on the climb. Hills aside, the beautiful Snowdonia landscape is packed with history; the evidence of which can be seen everywhere - ruins of hills forts, standing stones and medieval castles, meaning there is a huge amount to explore here, so leave yourself plenty of time.
