Reasons To Visit Snowdonia In Winter
With impressive mountain ranges, beautiful views and memorable walking trails, Snowdonia has a lot to offer. If snow is what you’re looking for, unfortunately, this can’t be guaranteed on your visit, but that doesn’t mean you should avoid going, you will not regret it! Plus, if you’re planning on staying at a Caernarfon hotel, you’re at the perfect spot to plan your Snowdonia visit.
Peaceful Tranquillity
Summer is a busy tourist attraction in Snowdonia, so in the Winter months there tends to be a lot fewer people trailing the area. This can offer a more peaceful visit, also providing more car parking spaces. With open mountain views and a plethora of walking routes, you won’t be bored of the sites available.
Attractions
Winter doesn’t mean a loss of attractions to visit. There is still a range of places you can go to in the area. If you’re looking to plan a Winter break, or maybe a pre-Christmas getaway, you can get involved in the festive spirit here. Some of the attractions you can visit within the Winter months include:
- Zip World
- Portmeirion Village
- Go Below Underground Adventures
- Adventure Parc Snowdonia
If you’re interested in visiting different cultures, Portmeirion Village in Snowdonia presents an Italianate style village you can visit throughout the year. This pretty village features a collection of beautifully structured coloured buildings, where you can walk the open grounds. Sat on the coast of North Wales, and take in the beautiful coastal views during your visit. As well as this, take the time to wander through the 70 acres of wild woodland on site.
Dark Nights
Snowdonia has been titled a Dark Sky Reserve, where you can observe the night sky and view the stars from above. Hopefully, with no or little clouds in sight, you will be able to take in the stunning dark sky views Snowdonia has to offer.
Cosy Food & Festive Favourites
There’s nothing better than cosying up in front of the fire after a delicious festive meal. So, if you’re looking for places to eat during your visit, there are plenty of cosy pubs and restaurants to choose from. At Ty’n Rhos, we have a special Winter menu featuring beef, roasted lamb and Winter classics such as pressed apple crumble. Welsh cheeses are a favourite of the Welsh food, so we couldn’t leave them behind, including the Snowdonia black bomber. Quality food – another great reason to visit Snowdonia during Winter!
