Snowdonia National Park

I was born in the West Midlands and lived there until 2002 when we all moved to Llandudno in North Wales. My husband, Dave, and I bought a large Victorian house and mom and dad came to live with us so that I could be their full time carer. We have now sadly lost both of them and Dave and I have moved to a small cottage on the Great Orme here in Llandudno as our old house was far too big for just two of us. The view from the front of our cottage is of the sea and the Snowdon Mountains beyond and it got me thinking that it was about time I wrote a review about this beautiful part of the world. The Snowdonia National Park stretches from ...  Read the complete review

Snowdonia National Park is, in my opinion, one of the most colourful National Parks in the country, and is as diverse as it is beautiful. Its Headquarters lie in Penrhyndeudraeth, a small town in the southern part of the Park, and like several National Parks, many areas are supported by the National Trust. Snowdonia National Park runs from near Bethesda in the North, to Machynlleth in the South. Snowdonia takes its name from the famous Mountain, Snowdon, which is the highest mountain in Wales, and excluding Scotland, the highest mountain in Britain. It also has one of the wettest climates in Great Britain, helping Wales to maintain its reputation as one of the ...  Read the complete review

Let me take you on a tour through a part of my homeland, the land of the Celts, Wales, I want you to see through my eyes the majestic mountains and gentle valleys, the mountain streams cascading into waterfalls, the spectacular passes with their rugged beauty, heather-clad rolling hills, towering forests and secluded villages all with their own particular charm. Hear through my ears this land of song, the gentle lilting voices that harmonise together with rising crescendo sending shivers down the spine. Put the cares of everyday living aside and stand in silence hearing only the babble of water over stones while overhead a lone bird calls to its mate. Lie down on ...  Read the complete review

I consider myself an extremely privelaged person. In the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, with views over the breathtaking Irish Sea, there sits a modest (actually its pretty big) 18th Century Farmhouse. With the closest neighbour a 20 minute drive away (due to the endless stream of gates) and the ominous peak of Cader Idris looming behind you, you could be forgiven for thinking you had found Nirvana. Owned by my Girlfriends parents, this remote retreat is used as a base to discover (and Re-discover!) the fantastic scenery and wildlife that this beautiful part of the country contains. I will explain a little about the surrounding towns and what ...  Read the complete review
