Many people book accommodation in Snowdonia National Park to spend days exploring the area. And if you're headed to this region, here are 11 of the best things you shouldn't miss doing.

Climb the highest peak in Wales. Mount Snowdon stands mighty and proud at 1,085 metres. Its hikes are challenging, but the views make the sweat all worthwhile once you reach the summit.

Ride the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Not up for hiking? You can still enjoy breathtaking views at the peak by riding in the Victorian-era carriages of the Snowdon Mountain Railway. The railway has been operating for more than 100 years now.

Visit the Electric Mountain. Anyone who stays in a Snowdonia B and B will mostly hear this tip: Go visit the Electric Mountain. Though it may not sound as picturesque as Snowdon, it's an important site that showcases innovative hydroelectric technology. This power station is located in the Elidir Fawr mountain and boasts a lengthy stretch of tunnels plus a huge man-made cavern.

Ride the fastest Zip Line in the world. Zip World's Velocity 2 isn't just the longest in all of Europe (it spans 1.5km), but it's also the fastest in the whole world.

Try white water rafting. Want to feel more adrenaline rush? Try what the National White Water Centre has to offer. The UK's first-ever commercial white water rafting hub continually attracts tourists who want to enjoy an unforgettable water adventure.

Visit the largest natural lake in Wales. When it’s time to wind down and enjoy the beautiful sceneries of Wales serenely, simply pay a visit to Bala Lake. It’s a huge natural lake where you can also sail, canoe, or kayak.

Explore popular castles. If you wish to be transported to the past, visiting at least a castle or two while you’re staying in Snowdonia is a must. Caernarfon Castle has been a Royal fortress for 700 years now. On the other hand, Conwy Castle is considered one of the most intact medieval structures in Europe.

…Or the underground world of a slate miner. From the 1800s until the 60s, slate mining is a bustling industry in the country. The Llechwedd Slate Caverns will help you feel what it’s like to be part of that industry with their tour packages.

Go town-hopping. Snowdonia is home to many beautiful towns, such as Llanebris, Beddgelert, and Betws-y-Coed. In these towns, you will find an array of shops, restaurants, and cafes.

Take a day trip to the Isle of Anglesea. Located on Wales’ northwest coast, going to this island is a great escape. You can enjoy its coastline, take a trip to their zoo, or explore various historical sites.
