Snowdonia - one big playground
Snowdonia is one of Wales’ most famous regions, known for its craggy mountains, brooding natural landscapes and rugged coastline. It’s home to Wales’ tallest mountain and Snowdonia National Park.
"I come to Snowdonia as often as I can. Cycling, rafting, sailing, climbing – you can do it all.”
Duncan, Melbourne
Snowdonia is home to some imposing castles built by the English King Edward I to subdue Welsh rebels, but the landscape itself is shaped by sheep and slate. Grey-green slate villages sit in secluded valleys and sheep farming remains an important industry.
As well as local shops selling slate products and local arts and crafts, Snowdonia is the place to head for adventure sports gear. If you need a camping, climbing or walking kit, head to Joe Brown in Llanberis or Betws-y-Coed. For a larger selection of high-street shops, try Caernarfon or Conwy.
