The things worth doing in Snowdonia (Eryri), from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.
Llechwedd, Blaenau Ffestiniog
Deep mine tours into the slate caverns above Blaenau, plus zip lines and underground trampolines in the old workings. Book ahead.
Slate landscape of north-west Wales
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2021, covering the quarries, inclines, railways and villages. The National Slate Museum at Llanberis is closed for redevelopment, so read it in the landscape instead.
Cwm Idwal
A hanging valley off the Ogwen with a three-mile loop round the lake below Devil's Kitchen. Darwin worked on the glacial geology here.
Harlech Castle
One of Edward I's castles on a crag above the dunes, part of the same World Heritage listing as Conwy and Caernarfon. Cadw run it.
Aberglaslyn and Craflwyn
National Trust woodland and gorge below Beddgelert, with a riverside path along the old railway line through the pass.
