Snowdonia Walking Tour

Snowdonia, United Kingdom

Why Walk Snowdonia

Snowdonia (Eryri in Welsh) covers 823 square miles of northwestern Wales, centered on Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) at 3,560 feet — the highest mountain in England and Wales. The park contains 90 mountain peaks, 23 lakes, and some of the most dramatic ridge walks in Britain. The Snowdon Horseshoe is widely considered the finest mountain walk in Wales, traversing knife-edge ridges around a glacial cwm.
