North Wales

The soaring peaks of Snowdonia tower above tranquil lakes and quiet valleys.

Ancient castles, rugged mountains and vast moorlands of purple heather, the landscape of north Wales still echoes with its tempestuous past. Explorers who stumble upon the quiet lakes of Snowdonia will be charmed by long walks, scenic climbs and excellent fishing.
