Description
The Snowdonia Slate Trail is a 83-mile waymarked route that takes you on a journey through the heart of Snowdonia, from the North Wales coast to the village of Bethesda. The trail passes through varied landscapes, including valleys, mountain passes, wild moorland, and river gorges, offering stunning views of Snowdon and the surrounding mountains. Along the way, you'll discover the National Slate Museum of Wales, abandoned slate villages, and the impressive Penrhyn quarry, with its longest and fastest zip-wire in Europe. This guidebook is packed with 95 colour photos, large-scale mapping, and practical information to help you plan and enjoy your holiday. With detailed route descriptions, information on public transport and travel, and insights into the slate industry heritage and wildlife, you'll be well-equipped to tackle the trail.
