Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park is the heart of North Wales — a vast landscape of rugged peaks, glacial valleys, and serene lakes that define the region’s outdoor spirit. From the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) to quiet corners like Aberglaslyn, Rhinogydd, and Cadair Idris, this National Park offers some of Britain’s most dramatic walking holidays and outdoor adventures.
This is Wales at its most elemental — where legends meet landscapes and every path leads to discovery. Whether you’re hiking high ridges, following peaceful woodland trails, or exploring slate-quarry heritage routes, Eryri captures the soul of self-guided travel. Its trails link culture and wilderness, adventure and stillness, from coast to mountain top.
Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Cadair Idris, and the Rhinogydd Ridge are the highlights, but there are hundreds of scenic valley and lakeside walks too.
Several routes to the summit vary in difficulty. The Llanberis Path is the gentlest, while the Snowdon Horseshoe is for experienced hikers only.
Spring to early autumn offers the best weather and visibility. Early mornings and weekdays are quieter, especially around Snowdon.
Yes — the Snowdon Sherpa bus network connects key trailheads, making it easy to walk without a car.
It combines high mountains, tranquil lakes, and deep cultural roots — a National Park where wilderness, legend, and walking heritage meet.
