General Information

Snowdonia is located in the Gwynedd region of Wales, United Kingdom and is the highest mountain in Wales. It is also the busiest mountain in terms of tourists who visit and hike it. Once at the peak the views over Wales is second to none, not to mention the views upon the hike. Designated as a national nature reserve for its rare flora and fauna, Snowdonia offers plenty to those brave enough to climb it. Walkers should always be aware of the sudden weather changes and be prepared.

There are a number of lakes all over the mountain varying in sizes, depths and myths.
