Gwynedd is on the north western side of Wales and most of the county lies in the Snowdonia National Park with the spectacular Snowdonia mountain ranges and the Cambrian Coast. Snowdonia has some of Britains finest scenery and most breathtaking views with the highest range of mountains in either England or Wales.
Gwynedd has many tourist attractions to offer - narrow-gauge railways, mysterious prehistoric remains, stately homes, castles, woollen mills, heritage centres, country parks, art galleries, museums and craft shops which specialise in everything from Welsh tapestries to items carved from slate. The Snowdon Mountain Railway takes you to the summit of Snowdon from Llanberis, making mountainering slightly more easy.
