Self-catering
cottage holidays in the Snowdonia National Park
On
a clear bright day you can see Ireland, the Isle of Man, south west
Wales and the Pennines from the summit of Snowdon which is the highest
peak in England and Wales. There are several
paths to the top of Snowdon and even the Snowdon
Mountain Railway for the less energetic. The views are undeniably
spectacular once you get there.
 The
Snowdonia
National Park covers 840 square miles of beautiful countryside
in north west Wales. Sheep graze on the lower slopes where large
boulders lay strewn as if by a giant hand in the rough
grass. The water monster Afanc, reputedly lives in Lake
Glaslyn, and although that is the stuff of legend, the Gwyniad - an ancient
relative of European white fish still lives 10,000 years on in Llyn
Tegid, trapped by the last Ice Age. A rare arctic plant,
the Snowdon Lily is also found only here.
Walkers
and ramblers visit each year in their thousands to admire the view and
take some exercise. Stone-built
villages are dotted round about where you can find old-fashioned pubs
and tea shops for some Welsh treats. A warm welcome and
magnificent scenery await your visit.
