Snowdonia & the Llŷn
Snowdonia
Home to Britain's finest mountain scenery south of the Scottish Highlands, Snowdonia's
imposing peaks provide a scenic backdrop for innumerable outdoor pursuits.
Slate Quarries
Welsh slate once roofed much of the world and Snowdonia's quarries and caverns bear wit-
ness to the toil of generations of workers, while former freight railways now shunt travel-
lers through spectacular terrain.
Surf & Sand
From the family-friendly sands of Barmouth and Tywyn to the surf spots and isolated bays
of the Llŷn Peninsula, Northwest Wales has plenty of beach to go round.
