Snowdonia Mountains and Coast
The Snowdonia National Park contains some of the most dazzling mountain scenery in the UK. With their reputation for rough rocky outcrops, vertiginously sheer cliffs and scooped glacial cwms, the mountains have shaped the livelihood of the people who’ve lived here.
Only a short distance away from this spectacular land of mountains you can discover breathtaking coastline. The Llŷn Coastal Footpath provides you golden opportunity to experience the coastal landscape by following this winding route.There are small coves and wide expanses of sand, rugged cliffs and small harbours waiting to be discovered.

Ceredigion
Cardigan Bay’s long sandy coastline is dotted with pretty fishing villages like Aberaeron and Llangrannog. It’s one of two sites in the UK with a resident population of bottlenose dolphins. The coast between New Quay and Cemaes Head has been the area of greatest observer effort over the years, with dolphins often sighted from land in sheltered waters near New Quay, Ynys Lochtyn, Aberporth, Mwnt, and the Teifi Estuary.
Take a dolphin-spotting cruise to Cardigan Island, or keep a sky-wards eye when you’re walking to see a red kite hovering overhead.
