Eryri (Snowdonia)

Eryri (Snowdonia) is a mountainous region in north-west Wales, characterised by rugged peaks, glacial valleys, lakes and extensive upland landscapes. Home to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest mountain in Wales, the national park contains some of the country’s most dramatic and varied terrain.

The landscape is shaped by geology, water and changing weather, creating strong contrasts between mountain ridges, valleys, woodland and lakes. Shifting cloud, seasonal conditions and the scale of the surrounding terrain contribute significantly to the character of the region.
