Eryri (Snowdonia): three days of Welsh mountains
The highest peaks in Wales, the deepest slate quarries, and a steam railway up Yr Wyddfa.
Snowdonia (Eryri in Welsh) is the most mountainous of Britain's national parks south of Scotland. Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is the highest peak in Wales at 1,085 metres. You can climb it in a long day, ride a Victorian rack-and-pinion railway to the summit, or do the spectacular Crib Goch ridge for serious scrambling. The slate quarries — themselves now a UNESCO World Heritage Site — add an industrial counterpoint.
