Walking Holidays and Stays in North Wales

Mountains, Coastal Trails, and Sacred Paths in Wales’ Legendary North

Experience self-guided walking holidays across a landscape shaped by myth, language, and awe.

North Wales offers some of the most iconic walking in Britain — a region where dramatic mountains meet the sea, and ancient trails wind through valleys, ridgelines, and coastal headlands. From the peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia) to the quiet lanes of the Llŷn Peninsula and the panoramic paths of the Clwydian Hills, this is walking that feels timeless and powerful.

The landscape is rich in story — filled with standing stones, sacred chapels, and villages where Welsh is still the first language. Whether you're scaling Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), wandering forested valleys, or tracing the edge of the sea, North Wales gives walkers a deep sense of connection — to land, culture, and history.

Where to Walk

Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park

‍Wales’ most celebrated national park, home to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and a vast range of trails — from high ridge walks like Crib Goch to quiet routes through Cwm Idwal, Cadair Idris, or the rugged Rhinogydd. Expect mountain lakes, glacial valleys, and unforgettable views.

Llŷn Peninsula Coastal Paths

‍Walk the western edge of North Wales along peaceful sea cliffs, sandy coves, and paths lined with wildflowers and old stone chapels. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers spiritual calm and scenic variety — perfect for slower, coastal journeys.

Northern Coast & Clwydian Range

‍Explore the Prestatyn to Conwy coastal route or head inland for wide-sky walking across the Clwydian Hills. Expect Iron Age hill forts, heather-covered slopes, and sweeping views over both land and sea.
