Description

This experience projects you into the heart of Snowdonia. Snowdonia National Park is an 2132 square kilometre (823 square mile) park located in Wales, United Kingdom. Unlike many national parks, this is a living and working area, with more than 26,000 permanent residents. It is Wales' largest national park, and the first of three to be established in Wales, and the third national park established in Britain after the Peak District and the Lake District. It was created in 1951 and each year approximately 6 million people visit the park. Visitors to the park can enjoy a variety of adventures including farm tours, white water rafting, train rides and many more activities. In Welsh it is known as 'Eryri' which means 'the place of the eagles'. Some speculation suggests that 'Eryri' simply means 'highlands’. Snowdonia National Park is made up of forests, mountains, lakes, valleys, gorges, waterfalls, and rivers; mountain ranges account for half of the surface of Snowdonia National Park.
