The Snowdonia National Park, covering 827 square miles, is the second largest National Park in the country, attracting 11 million visitors annually. It boasts no less than 17 National Nature Reserves - more than any other National Park - and 45 Sites of Special Scientific Interest.
On a typical Summer Sunday, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) has 1,500 walkers on its 3,560-foot summit. (A further 1,000 are carried up by the famous rack-and-pinion railway from Llanberis.) Many other peaks, such as Tryfan (3,010 feet), are more challenging, less populated and arguably more attractive.
A pack featuring a series of local walks is available as a free download (click here), or from reception on site for a small fee.
A series of Guided Walks is also available as follows:
£4.00 per adult
