Eryri (Snowdonia)
The land of myth and legend
Eryri is a land of myth and legends, from the true Welsh Princes, to dragons, giants and King Arthur, and its location here in North Wales features strongly in The Mabinogion, the 11th-century collection of Welsh folktales that inspire many names to this day.
Eryri is a stunning landscape of rugged mountainous ranges, woodland and lakes, and the National Park is the largest of the three Welsh National Parks, and is home to the highest mountain in both England and Wales – Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon).
Ty’n Llidiart is the perfect base for exploring all the region has to offer. With picturesque towns, mountain walks, lakeside exploring, and plenty of opportunities for adrenalin-fuelled adventures, you’ll have an endless list of places to visit on your stay with us.
FROM MOUNTAIN TO SEA
Eryri National Park
The Eryri National Park is vast, covering 823 square miles and is home to 26,000 people. Eryri has 9 mountain ranges, 23 miles of coastline, 11,000 hectares of native woodland, and 1497 miles of route to explore.
There’s so much to see and discover as you explore this endless landscape. Many people come to take on the walking trails and conquer Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon) on foot, or with a little help from the park’s historic Snowdon Mountain Railway, which climbs to the summit of our highest mountain. But there’s as much to do on the water as there is in on land – and there are even a few options by air for the real adrenaline seekers. Eryri also has Dark Sky Reserve Status as a result of its low light pollution, and on a clear night, you can see the Milky Way, all the major constellations, nebulas and shooting stars.
ADVENTURE SEEKERS
Adrenalin adventures
Often referred to as the “adventure capital of the UK,” for those seeking a trip that gets the adrenalin pumping, the opportunities are boundless in Snowdonia.
Mountain biking, canoeing, horse riding, fell-running, paddle boarding, open water swimming and hiking are just some of the the activities you can enjoy locally. There’s plenty more to do a little further afield too, including surfing, canyoning, and of course, whizzing through the air on a zipwire.
Whatever adventure you’re seeking, you’ll find it here in Snowdonia.
OUR LOCAL TOWN
Dolgellau
While Cadair Idris sits high above Dolgellau, and the mountain range dominates the views for miles around, there’s so much more to our beautiful little town than the majestic mountain perched above.
Dolgellau is a short drive and is now a thriving destination, bustling with independent shops, cafes and pubs. It has more listed buildings than any other town in Wales, with over 200 on the urban conservation list.
As you wander along the narrow streets or take a seat in one of the squares, soak up the surroundings and see if you can spot signs of the town’s past as a regional centre for the Welsh woollen industry – like high up doors and pulley systems. Keep an eye out in particular for the small round windows at the top of buildings, as these were said to be hidden meeting houses for the Quakers.
