Walking near self catering accommodation in Harlech, Snowdonia
Snowdonia, the very first National Park in Wales, was designated in 1951. At 838 square miles it’s the biggest in Wales, notching up 1480 miles of public footpaths, 164 miles of public bridleways. And 46 miles of other public rights of way. So quite often you’ll have the trail all to yourself.
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.
Details of walks can be found on the websites below
