Wales - Snowdonia & the Llyn (PDF Chapter)
This part of Wales really packs it in, from rugged mountain trails to coastal paths, old industrial sites and heritage train lines. The gem in this diadem is Snowdonia National Park, where the mightiest peaks south of Scotland scrape glowering skies.

- float through the air across Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a pinnacle of Georgian civil engineering
- test your claustrophobia in the gloomy slate caverns of Blaenau Ffestiniog
