Reviewed By Harrison_F_Carter
A really beautiful place, offering the feel of the Mountains, yet requiring only a short easy walk. A must-do, if you are not going to climb Mountains whilst in Snowdonia.
Also worth mentioning, the A5 is pretty spectacular, especially around Tryfan and the Ogwen Valley. See attached photos.

Getting too old now to walk the mounting, but just came back from Dolgellau over the pass and the snow on the mountain range was spectacular.
Looking over the lake and the views from the cross foxes can't be beaten.
I wouldn't mine but I stopped to take a viedo on my phone, which only took the two photos at the start and finish. Every one that goes that way says how great it is.

One of the most beautiful Gardens we have visited. At every turn there is something beautiful to look at. It seemed to go on forever. The fairy trail was a delight, just disappointing that our Granddaughter wasn't with us as she would have loved it.
4. Snowdon

The highest mountain in Wales (higher than any in England) at 3,560 feet.
Reviewed By ParryR100 - Llangefni, United Kingdom
Climbed over 40 times in all types of seasonal weather and times.
Done it at night, sunrise, sunset, wind, heavy snow, rain, cloudy, clear. Every single time it has been an amazing experience.
I would highly recommend everyone with the ability does this at least once.
I will simply just advise that you are well prepared for your chosen route and conditions. The experienced will have no issues. But it is suprising how many do this with inadequate gear. Be safe people. Don't underestimate a mountain like this.
5. Plas Mawr

Plas Mawr stands as a symbol of a prosperous, buoyant age. The Elizabethan era. A golden age? Think Renaissance and Shakespeare. Think Plas Mawr. An Elizabethan gem worth its weight in gold. The finest town house of its period in Britain. Its owner Robert Wynn, an influential merchant of great repute, was particularly fond of grandeur and colour. He also liked entertaining. Lavishly. Behold his finest hour, a grand house built between 1576 and 1585 in the heart of medieval Conwy’s narrow cobbled streets. A house which more than matched his grandiose ambitions. Particularly exquisite is the ornamental plasterwork in the hall, now repainted in vivid original colours. There’s not an inch that doesn’t impress, from plasterwork ceilings to friezes and skilful carpentry. Look out for the initials ‘RW’ on various crests and coats of arms, lest you forget the master of the mansion and payer of all bills.

Very interesting place. If you pay to go in the castle you get this for just a few quid extra. We had the audio tour at no extra cost. It is very interesting but you must do in daylight as there is no lighting. It's all down to daylight coming in through the windows. It was very quiet when we visited so we had the place virtually to ourselves.

Set behind sand dunes and a golf course, the beach is as wide and far as the eye can see. Weather can be changeable but in that you see all sorts of views of the sea and the beach. The Snowdonia Mountains can be seen at a distance so you’re sure to see that inspirational sight. Great for families and dog walkers.
9. Pontcysyllte Aqueduct

Reviewed By Michelle S - Birkenhead, United Kingdom
So lucky to have such places on our doorstep. Free parking at Trevor Basin, narrowboats on the canal you can hire, small cafe and a visitor centre (although this was closed when we visited). Wonderful views walking over aqueduct, path a little narrow something to think about if you have little ones but there is a walk you can do to view the aqueduct and walk along the River Dee....well worth a visit! Spent a couple of hours here.

Walk this stunning part of the Welsh Coastal path from the Castle in Caernarfon in the NE along the pilgrim's route to the beautiful church at Clynnog Fawr, and on to Trefor and the Iron Age hill fort of Tre'r Ceiri. Walk the sandy Beaches of Nefyn, Morfa Nefyn and Porth Dinllaen, and Porth Penllech and Porth Oer/Whistling Sands as you head to Uwch Y Mynydd - the Lands End of the Llyn and overlook the tranquil island of Ynnis Enlli/Bardsey island. Stay a while and explore more and continue your walk allong the southern coast to Abersoch, Llanbedrog, Pwllheli, Cricieth and Black Rock Sands and Porthmadog. If you're interested you can stay with us a few days at our B&B and we will happily provide the daily shuttle service to and from any point on the walk from Clynnog Fawr to Pwllheli. That takes all the hassle out of organising your walk and you will stay in some luxury with us. You will not be disappointed check out our reviews on Trip Advisor.

Beautiful place! We were based at Nefyn. The path is easily accessible, well sign posted and fairly quiet. I used it to run on 3 times - each time was different and a great running challenge. Also good for family walks.
