For anyone wanting something more challanging the National Park can deliver excitement on all levels. There are hundreds of walks available in the Park all with unique views of the mountains. The Miner's Track, The Pyg Track and The Watkin Path are just some of the more famous paths to the summit of Snowdon, and one of them, The Llanberis Path, starts in the town of Llanberis itself.
There are numerous other walks on the Glyders and The Carnedi as well as low level walks through forests and country parks and around the many lakes in The Park. The whole of the Llanberis area is famous for the quality, accessibility and variety of climbing available. There are climbs to suit all abilities, from V.

Snowdon Mountain Railway
The famous Snowdon Mountain Railway has been taking visitors to the summit of Snowdon for over 140 years. Enjoy the spectacular views and the experience of steam trains.
A unique glimpse into the day to day lives of the slate miners of days gone by. Slate splitting demonstrations daily during the summer, film shows and access to workshops and quarry men's houses.
A look inside the award winning hydro-electric station that generates electricity by using surplus electricity on the National grid at night to pump water to a holding lake and then release it to generate electricity when needed.
Great for families, a place where the kids can feed the ducks, go boating, tire themselves out in the new play area, go fishing or take one of the many nature walks or visit the quarry hospital.
