OVERVIEW

Eryri is a mountain region in north western Wales, containing the country’s highest peaks, deep glacial valleys and numerous lakes. Slate quarries, castles and small towns sit among the uplands, while Welsh remains widely spoken across many communities. Roads and railways provide access to several distinct sections.

Walking ranges from easy lakeside paths to exposed ridges where weather changes rapidly. The highest summit attracts heavy crowds, but quieter ranges, slate villages and broad valleys lie close by. Mountain railways provide access for less active visitors, while Welsh language and industrial heritage give the region a cultural identity beyond its famous peaks.
