Snowdonia
A mountain with a railway to the summit for the ones who’d rather not walk up, castles built to intimidate rather than charm, and a coastline that gets a fraction of the attention it deserves.
The best time to visit Snowdonia is Apr–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 19°C (67°F). Local time there is 04:31 (UTC+1).
