Best Route up Snowdon
Known in Welsh as Yr Wyddfa, Snowdon is an iconic landmark that is climbed by over 500,000 people each year. It may well be the reason you stay with us.
Day Out 1
Take the short and scenic drive to Portmeirion and spend your morning marvelling over the Italianate beauty, perhaps pausing to peer in at the latest artist-in-residence. Enjoy a delicious cream tea here before heading over to the nearby Welsh Highland Railway and resting your legs as you embark on a 3 hour steam-train voyage through the national park.
Day Out 2
Pull on your boots and take on a spectacular segment of the Wales Coast Path from Porthmadog harbour to Borth-y-Gest. Turn it into a large loop and climb Moel y Gest on the way out or back for incredible views over the Llyn Peninsula. Reward your trail walking efforts at the finish line with a hearty helping of fish & chips.
