Overview

Holiday Highlights

  • Learn about the legend of Gelert and visit the grave in the picturesque town of Beddgelert.
  • Discover the history of the North Wales slate industry and the lives of the quarrymen on this diverse trail.
  • Visit some of the less frequented parts of Snowdonia’s mountains through forests and open moorland as well as along lake shores with wide open views.
  • Spend time at Betws-y-Coed, one of the prettiest villages in the region.

This exploration of Snowdonia invites you to traverse pathways that wind over hills, meander through valleys, and delve into ancient forests. This region of Wales garnered global recognition for its slate quarries, which played a pivotal role in its industrial heritage. The necessity to transport slate to market spurred the creation of narrow-gauge railways, now drawing steam enthusiasts and curious tourists alike.

The array of walks we offer is as diverse as the landscape itself. Some lead through popular routes near charming tourist towns like Beddgelert and Betws-y-Coed. Others venture into the serene hills, passing by remote sheep farms, revealing vistas that stretch as far as the eye can see.

At the heart of this experience lies the Snowdonia Slate Trail, an 83-mile journey back in time to the era when Snowdonia was the epicentre of the slate industry. Although we don't cover the entire trail, we've carefully selected the highlights for this holiday, ensuring you experience the very best of the region within the chosen grade.
