Snowdonia National Park

The largest national park in Wales, Snowdonia covers 2,176 square kilometres of mountain, lake, moorland, and coast in the northwest of the country. Snowdon itself, at 1,085 metres the highest peak in Wales and England, is the dominant feature and can be ascended by six different walking routes or by the Snowdon Mountain Railway from Llanberis. The Llanberis Path offers the most straightforward ascent; the Pyg Track and Miners' Track converge at Glaslyn, a glacially formed lake below the summit pyramid that provides one of the classic mountain photographs in Britain.
