- My guide for the best things to do in Snowdonia & Anglesey. From climbing to the summit of Snowdon to the mind blowing Conwy Castle! Snowdonia is a national park in North West Wales, not only does it contain the highest peak in wales, but also some breathtaking castles, gorgeous towns and Anglesey has some of the most peaceful coastline you could imagine! All these things are in such a small area which makes it the perfect place for a holiday! So here is my top 10 things to do whilst on holiday Snowdonia.
For another 10 incredible things to do in Snowdonia check out this video next:

There are so many things to do in Wales in general, here is my full playlist about all things Wales:
• AlexTravels Across Wales
firstly in Snowdonia you must climb the highest peak in wales, in this video i will give you full advice on the many ways to get to the summit of Snowdon. Firstly you can walk on the Pyg Track, probably the most well known track the Pyg is also the shortest and with only a few short climbs anyone with an average level of fitness can tackle this path. Then we have the Snowdon mountain Railway, this train is perfect for anyone who wants to see the epic views all over Snowdonia from the summit without the climb. Then for the people seeking more of a challenge I would suggest the Rhyd Ddu path. climbing along the ridgeline this requires some confidence and steady footing, but the reward is some of the best views I have ever seen!

Other than this you can see the amazing walled town of Conwy, the guinness world record for the smallest house in Great Britain as well as Conwy Castle. go over to Anglesey and walk around the coast at the South Stack Lighthouse. see the town with the 2nd longest name in Europe and more castles than you can imagine and so much more! Here is the full list from the video:
- Climb Snowdon (the highest peak in Wales)
- Option 1: The Pyg Track
- Option 2: Snowdon Mountain Railway
- Option 3: The Rhyd Ddu Path
- Visit The Town of Conwy
- See The Smallest House in Great Britain
- Visit Conwy Castle
- Visit The Town of Holyhead on Holy Island
- See The South Stack Lighthouse & Take A Walk Around The Coastline of Anglesey
- Visit Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Hi everyone! This is one of the first videos I made on UA-cam, so I have since made an improved/updated version of the “10 Best Things To Do in Snowdonia”, that you can watch here if you like: ua-cam.com/video/HO8XDzdmcXs/v-deo.html
Snowdonia is certainly a gem in Wales! Beautiful scenery, and a cracking list you've got there!
It definitely is! It's my favourite part of Wales, more mountains to climb than you could ever want!
wow! so gorgeous. Wales has never really been on my radar but thanks to you I'm definitely considering it now. Will have to check out your whole playlist next!
I think Wales is overlooked a lot and people look toward Cornwall or The Lake District, but for some awesome scenery, castles and epic mountain walks. It's an incredible place!
Great video, looking forward for some more. Thanks!
Thankyou! I'm glad you enjoyed, I've got some videos from the Peak District coming very soon!
Fantastic video! Loved watching it! Looks absolutely amazing! :)

What a beautiful part of the world, need to get myself there one day.
I would definitely recommend it. Wales has some of the best scenery in the UK in my opinion!😀
Thanks for this. Great vid. We are hoping to do some filming in Anglesey soon. Going to wait for a lovely day though! Great tips x
Anglesey was amazing! I wished I had more time to spend there, I'll definitely need to go back and explore all the corners of Anglesey in more detail!
Looks like a stunning part of Wales. Only been to Tenby but will def check out these other places when I am that way again, hopefully after covid
Indeed! I'll definitely be going back to Snowdonia after covid, if you like hiking up mountains you cant beat it!
What a great vlog, thanks for featuring our little part of world.
Snowdonia and Anglesey are definitely my favourite parts of Wales, I actually just got back from another trip to Snowdonia a couple weeks ago as I felt like there was so much I missed the first time! So I've got more videos from Snowdonia coming soon!
I love wales I would love to visit again next year thanks for a great video 😀
Thankyou, in glad you enjoyed! It is incredible snowdonia was definitely my favourite part of Wales for the scenery, And if you like climbing mountains I think it's one of the best in the UK!
Thank you so much for this amazing video..please do more
Glad you enjoyed! I recently posted a part 2 of this video with another 10 things to do in Snowdonia!
planning a trip right now, and this was super helpful. Thanks, Alex!
Glad it was helpful! I've got a final Wales video going up this week going through my road trip day by day around the Wales coastline!
@@AlexTravels1 not gonna lie. I’m intrigued
Thanks for these tips. I am heading there tomorrow and the weather is going to be ABSOLUTELY SHITE by the looks of it. I did come prepared with raincoat but you had some nice ideas for things to do inside so thanks.
Thanks, glad you found the video helpful! I've been to Snowdonia many times over the years, and I think for 90% of those trips it was raining... just part of the Snowdonia charm😂
Eryri - Snowdonia
Yr Wyddfa - Snowdon
Rhyd ddu - Reed thee
Ynys Lawd - South Stack
Just call it Llanfairpwll - thats what we do
Beddgelert 👍( only two miles from Dinas Emrys which is the origin of the Welsh dragon)
Cricieth 👍
Good video 👍
I climbed Snowdon a few times, one time we had bad weather and couldn't make it to the top. On the way down we got drenched and for some stupid reason I hadn't taken a change, so when we got back to the car I had to just get most of the layers off. But the tradition was after a walk with my dad we went for a curry and there was no changing that one, and I remember walking down Welshpool High Street in a pair of underpants and a cycling top.
Some of my fave places to visit
A great guide for people
Very nice speaker , wonderful land
Great video and really detailed. Looks like a lovely part of the U.K.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! Snowdonia was definitely my favourite part of Wales, hiking paradise in my opinion!!
Amazing Snowdonia
After lockdown being ease off in UK time to get myself there , long trip waiting from Norfolk.Thank dude .,now I know what to do there 😃
I'd definitely recommend it, I recently returned from Snowdonia again a couple weeks ago, so I've got more videos coming very soon from here, my favourite national park!
Get yourself to Barmouth, bottom end of Snowdonia but one of the most beautiful places, we have a caravan in Tal-y-bont just outside Barmouth, and Harlech castle is on route to Barmouth too, nice day out at the castle, but Barmouth has some stunning walks and scenery, definitely a must go place!
I'll be heading back to Snowdonia soon, I can't wait! and I'll certainly check out your suggestions, I have visited Harlech Castle but never gone to Barmouth. Stunning walks and scenery sound great to me!
Great video, good channel ... Happy to support you 😁
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed!
great vid man!!!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Great video Alex 👍🏻🇬🇧
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!😃
Love your video and like you a lot, you make me laugh! Thank you and will subscribe... Best of luck to you x
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Great video and channel -- liked and subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
It’s amazing 🤩
Hey alex, great video. I can’t wait to see your future travels and videos. Ive been to wales before and this video just takes me back to wonderful memories. Keep it up!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed! Wales is incredible one of my favourite parts of the UK. Epic coastlines, Castles, Mountains and more, what more could you want!😀
AlexTravels Yes that’s true and the way you showed wales in this video just justifies that. 😀
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Jaylen Shiloh Instablaster =)
I may be inventing trivia here but I thought Llanfairpwllgwyn....was also the birthplace of the WI.
Beddgelert is my favourite place in the world. I'm glad you noted the drinking establishments. Generally speaking, the ones nearer the bridge are better in the wet/cold, whilst the ones higher up aka the Royal Goat are better in the hotter balmy nights, should there be any!!
Cadwaladers ice cream is a must in Criccieth.
Subbed, gonna check out your playlist.
Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the info! I'm heading back to Snowdonia this summer so I'll definitely check out Cadwaladers in Cricceth, can't beat ice cream by the sea! 😂
Great video
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed! Snowdonia is an incredible place!
New sub! These videos are just what I was looking for as inspo for our own Welsh road trip this summer. Are you planning on putting out the rest of your road trip videos any time soon?
These were the main 3 videos I made of my Welsh road trip, but basically, the structure of the trip was:
Day 1 - Cardiff
Day 2-5 - Pembrokeshire Coast & Tenby
Day 6 - Aberystwyth
Day 7-10 - Snowdonia
And then I drove back along north coast of Wales.
But I may make a final video putting everywhere in order and mapping out the full route of my road trip, as I've had a few requests now, so stay tuned!😃
@@AlexTravels1 yeah I think a summary video would be good. Look forward to seeing where else you go now that lockdown is almost over! 😊
wales is the best ! proud to live in it
Mate you bring the nice mommy to me!!
I really like this video such a great one, cheers ..
It’s pronounced Rhyd De, which I only know thanks to riding on the Welsh highland railway! 👍🏻
Hey Alex! I love the pyg track of Snowdonia. Did you stay at the hostel at pen y pass? Right at the bottom of snowdon. Great place to stay and the start and end of the trek.
Also Conwy castle
Looks sick. Next time I climb I’ll for sure go visit!
Keep it up dude. New sub here
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! The Pyg track is great, although next time I go I want to attempt the Crib Goch path and try a bit of scrambling! I didn't stay at the hostel because I didn't actually realise it was there, I'll definitely think about it next time though! And Conwy is an epic day trip!
@@AlexTravels1 I've done crib goch its pretty easy just exposed
Caernarfon and Beaumaris are also excellent castles to visit
Went to Holyhead then into snowdonia this weekend, snowdonia blew me away with its beauty! It’s incredible, I’m of to the Peak District national park next weekend, have you been any if so any recommendations ? :)
Funnily enough I'm back in the Peak District in around 3 weeks time so I'll be making some more videos from there! I have visited before although only for a couple of days but I would recommend Dovedale and Monsal Dale for 2 epic hikes! I also have a video about these 2 hikes on my channel in case you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/RYpY9QhKFiw/v-deo.html
Have a great trip!
I love wales !
It sure is a great country!!
Cool :)
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Hi! Thanks for the video! Will I be able to explore Snowdonia without a car?
Indeed! There are quite a lot or regular buses going all over Snowdonia.
Infact I believe as of right now its being advised that more people make use of the buses as Snowdonia is becoming overflowing with cars
4:45 so cute haha
Good places. Also would love to visit Betws-y-Coed.
Betws-y-Coed was great! We visited there recently, in fact I actually made a second top 10 things to do in Snowdonia as I felt that there were so many amazing places I missed out in this video. Here's a link in case you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/HO8XDzdmcXs/v-deo.html
Hi Alex do we need a vehicle on our own for when exploring snowdonia?
I believe there are buses on all the main routes, it's only for any places that are off the beaten track you might have some issues if exploring by bus
Conway is the best to visit, hardest to photograph
I'm back in Conwy in a couple of weeks time, this time to explore inside the castle as it was closed last time, We'll be attempting some photography... so we'll see how it goes😂
Rhyd Ddu is pronounced Rreed Thee
I'm on my way to Snowdonia
Enjoy your trip! I actually just got back from a second trip to Snowdonia a couple weeks ago, in fact that's my next video coming soon! If you like hiking mountains but want to do something different to Snowdon, my recent Snowdonia highlight was climbing Glyder Fawr! ...absolutely incredible!
🤩👌
not to nitpick but its spelled Beddgelert. (Bedd meaning grave in Welsh)
My Teacher gave this video to me xD
Snowdon may be the tallest mountain, south of the Scottish Highlands, but there are finer mountains, and mountain ranges, in the Snowdonia National Park.
There's the incredible Carneddau, which see hardly any walkers, and my real favourite, is the Rhinog range, above Harlech.
Do not put Snowdon at the top of your list, as you are missing a lot of equally fine mountains in such a compact area of North Wales
Thanks for the comment! And I agree, I just returned from another trip to Snowdonia last week and climbed Glyder Fawr... and I think it beat Snowdon on scenery, quietness, peacefulness and how fun it was to climb! Infact, I've got another video coming out soon with 10 more things to do in Snowdonia, as there's so much to do there!
Caernarfon Castle is where prince Charles was crowned the Prince of Wales.
Nice :) It is necesary to have a car to visit this lovely place?:)
You can definitely explore without a car, there are quite a few buses, especially around Snowdon, we even used buses to explore around Snowdon because of just how busy the roads are/how difficult it is to find parking around that area
Gilbert 😔
Correction, Snowdon is not just the highest mountain in Wales, but the highest in both England and Wales!
Snowdon is not in England, though.
It is the highest mountain in England, Wales and St Helena too.
You missed tryfan :(
I know! I didn't get time to climb tryfan and opted for Snowdon instead, but since then and hearing about tryfan I'm sad I missed it! I'll have to go back next summer and give it a go!!
'Rhid Thee'
Thanks! I'll get my head around Welsh names one day! I'm heading back to Snowdonia in a couple weeks to do this exact path!
Rhyd Ddu is pronounced Reed Thee
Thanks! I'm heading back to Snowdonia in a couple of weeks to climb this exact path... and now I can finally learn how to say it right!
You really could have made a better effort at Welsh names. Rhyd Ddu sounds like "Rheed Thee". Criccieth sounds like "Crick Yeth".
I think it's pronounced conwee (conwy) not Conway
Indeed, I have since learned this😂 I'm actually in Snowdonia right now making another video... so hopeully this time I can learn to say some Welsh words right!
@@AlexTravels1 well thanks for being a good sport about it instead of touchy. It's better to be corrected so you dont continue to use the wrong pronunciation I think. Snowdonia is so beautiful and fun so enjoy!!!! And I look forward to the new video
you lip sync
