Snowdonia

Rugged Peaks, Crags and Ridges

Snowdonia National Park is the most dramatic area in Wales, featuring the highest, steepest and most rugged summits. The area is replete with lakes and waterfalls and offer many activities for the visitor. It's an extremely popular part of Wales and should be top of the list of places to visit for the mountain lover.

Geologically, much of the park is composed volcanic rocks, which give rise to the highest peaks. Cadair Idris was once a huge volcano. Glaciation has also done its work, producing many mountain lakes.
