Snowdonia National Park


The Mountains of Snowdonia




Snowdonia National Park, which has the evocative Welch name of “Eryri” meaning ‘the place of the eagles’, is an area of outstanding natural beauty covering 838 square miles and containing some of the most magnificent scenery in Wales.
The rocks that cover Snowdonia were formed by volcanoes in the Ordovician period and much of the scenery was carved out by glaciers.
