• Snowdonia is the adventure capital of the UK.
  Nowhere else within the British Isles will you
  find such a high concentration of opportunities

  beaches.

Watersports

• Although Snowdonia is best known for its
  exceptional rock climbing, scrambling and hill
  walking, the superb network of mountain bike
  trails in the Coed y Brenin and Gwydyr Forests
  are equally popular with visitors. Opportunities
  for watersports can also be found in abundance
  either canoeing or kayaking on the inland rivers,
  or surfing, sailing and sea kayaking off the
  coast of Anglesey and the Lleyn Peninsula

  Wales at 3,560 feet, with Llanberis to the north
  and Beddgelert to the South.

Llanberis

• Nowadays, Llanberis in Snowdonia National Park is
  a major tourist attraction. From the town one can
  catch a train up the highest mountain in England
  and Wales or walk along the many routes to the
  summit over three thousand feet high.

Beddgelert

• Beddgelert (Meaning the grave of Gelert ) was
  once described as "a few dozen hard grey houses
  ... huddled together in some majestic mountain
  scenery". This village, just south of Snowdon,
  owes its fame to the story of Prince Llewelyn ap
  Iorwerth who decided on a hunting trip and left
  his infant son in the charge of his faithful dog
  Gelert. On his return, the Prince was greeted by
  Gelert, who noticed the dog's muzzle was soaked
  in blood, and his son was nowhere to be seen.
  Llewelyn attacked the dog, and it fell to the
  ground gravely injured. However, within minutes
  he heard a cry and stumbled through nearby bushes
  to find his son, safe in his cradle. Beside the
  cradle lay the body of a giant wolf covered with
  wounds, the result of a fight to the death with
  hound Gelert. Llewelyn strode back to his
  faithful dog and watched it die from his actions.

Harlech Castle

• Built under the supervision of James of St George
  towards the end of the 13th century, Harlech
  Castle is one of the four great castles in Wales
  constructed for Edward I. Concentric in design,
  the rectangular inner bailey, with a round tower
  at each corner and a gatehouse mid way along the
  east wall, is surrounded by a second rectangular
  fortification, and the outer bailey enclosed by
  an outer curtain wall.
