Stay in Southern Snowdonia
Where Mid Wales meets North Wales. Where our places to stay have mountain views, lakes on the doorstep, waterfalls within walking distance. You can find them here.
Snowdonia National Park is the largest National Park in Wales, with the highest mountain in England and Wales, and the largest natural lake in Wales.
Must See Attractions include Coed y Brenin, Britain's first purpose-built mountain bike centre. It is one of the sport's top destinations featuring work-class mountain bike trails, family walks, a cafe, cycle shop, all-ability play area and an easy access trail.
Portmeirion is situated on a private peninsula overlooking stunning coastal scenery, the Italian Riviera meets rural Wales with a riot of colour and architectural styles at Portmeirion Village. Built by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, Portmeirion is now one of Wales’ most popular destinations.
Harlech Castle crowns a sheer rocky crag overlooking the dunes far below, the peaks of Snowdonia rising as a backdrop.
In the stunning UNESCO Dyfi Biosphere in Mid Wales, The Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) is a world-renowned eco centre that demonstrates practical solutions for a sustainable future.
Visit one of our heritage railways in Southern Snowdonia. The Ffestiniog Railway is the oldest independent railway company in the world, established in 1832.
Dolgellau is the main town here, a solid market town of grey stone at the foot of Cadair Idris. From there, the Mawddach Trail follows the old railway line to Barmouth along the estuary, one of the best easy walks in Wales. Harlech has its castle and views north to the Llŷn Peninsula. Tywyn and the Talyllyn Railway are within easy reach. Accommodation ranges from farmhouse B&Bs above the estuary to self catering cottages in the hills, with a few good hotels in the towns.
