Llanberis Lake Railway

Highlight • Structure

Not been on this myself but on a conversation with a member of the public I'm told it's a wonderful journey around to the north side of the lake away from the hustle and bustle of the South side

Llanberis Village and Llyn Padarn

Highlight • Settlement

Llanberis is synonymous with Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). It's a popular starting point for some of the easier ways to the roof of Wales. Whether it’s via the Llanberis Path or a ride on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, thousands of people every year head to the village with the summit in their sights.

Long before it was a draw to tourists and hikers, Llanberis was a slate mining town. The Dinorwig Quarry's slate tips are a stark reminder of the region’s heritage.

The village is blessed with several good outdoor gear shops and characterful places to eat and drink.

Dolbadarn Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Great little castle/watchtower, easy walk up to it from the hotel nearby, the views from it on a good day are worth the short walk.

Framed Bikes, Llanberis

Highlight • Rest Area

Always handy to know a bike shop is within the area. Framed bikes is on the main street through Llanberis. The owner said there is a two to three week wait for work, but I got the feeling he would assist riders passing through
