2 daysSnowdoniaPlanned by Trippad

A Snowdonia weekend — warm up in the slate valleys of Llanberis, then take the Pyg Track up Yr Wyddfa and come down the Miners' Track past the lakes.

Day 1 of 2

Day 1

10:00 – 11:30·1h 30m
National Slate Museum, Llanberis
The workshops closed in 1969 with the tools left on the benches. Free entry, live slate-splitting demos, and the story of the mountain's other economy.

Lunch in Llanberis
Pete's Eats has fuelled climbers with pint mugs of tea and chip butties for forty years. Carb-load shamelessly — tomorrow earns it.

Dolbadarn Castle and Llyn Padarn shore
Llywelyn the Great's round tower over the lake, then the lakeside path with the whole Snowdon massif reflected on a still day. Turner painted it; you'll photograph it.

Recon drive over Pen-y-Pass
Drive the pass to scout tomorrow's start, check the parking situation (pre-book or use the Sherpa bus), and read the Pyg Track's first zigzags from the café terrace.
