Explore self-guided walking holidays and outdoor adventures in North Wales — from summiting Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) in Eryri National Park to strolling the historic streets of Llangollen beside the River Dee. This is a land where jagged peaks rise over glacial valleys, and coastal paths wind past golden beaches, fishing villages, and seabird cliffs. Whether you’re following a ridge walk high above the clouds, tracing a quiet canal towpath, or paddling along a sheltered bay, North Wales offers a landscape made for both challenge and calm.
Here, the adventures are as varied as the terrain — climb Wales’ highest mountain, wander a quiet estuary path, or follow a cliff-edge trail where seabirds wheel overhead and the sea thunders below. You might kayak beneath towering sea cliffs, cycle through lush valleys, or watch the sunset from a windswept headland. In North Wales, walking and exploring are as much about the journey as the destination.
