Mountains, Coastlines, Valleys, and Historic Routes
From the mountains of Eryri to the coastline of Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula, North Wales contains a diverse network of routes, landscapes, and places shaped by geology, history, and centuries of movement through the land. Trails such as the North Wales Pilgrim's Way, Wales Coast Path, Snowdonia Slate Trail, and Taith Ardudwy Way reveal many of these environments, while landscapes including Eryri National Park, the Llŷn National Landscape, Anglesey National Landscape, and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape showcase some of the region's most distinctive natural environments.
Long-distance routes pass through mountain terrain, coastal landscapes, woodland, river valleys, farmland, and historic settlements, linking places that have shaped the character of the region for generations. Together, these routes and landscapes reveal the diversity of North Wales while providing opportunities to explore at a slower pace through self-guided travel and independent exploration.
