Walking in Snowdonia

Snowdonia is renowned for being a very special place for walkers. From the peaks of the mountains and the hundreds of lakes to the forests, rivers and the coastal areas, Snowdonia's varied terrain and magnificent views are sure to inspire everyone! The National Park is working on developing a network of walks for all abilities and more will be added every year.
