On this holiday we explore the majestic peaks of Eryri, Snowdonia National Park. We will get a real taste of the rugged, rocky mountains and glaciated valleys that form the core of this part of Wales. With rugged ascents and far reaching views, it is a truly rewarding break.

The exact itinerary will be decided at the time but rest assured that we will be taking in the best this area has to offer. Possible highlights include Moel Siabod, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the Glyders, Molwyns and Carnedds.

We will stay at a self catering cottage where breakfast and lunch is on a help yourself basis. There is an option to have dinner at  nearby Plas y Brenin, outdoor centre and dinner is included here on your first night. All rooms are single occupancy with shared bathrooms.
