Stunning Eryri Snowdonia National Park in photos
Eryri Snowdonia National park in North Wales is a stunning area for photography with some amazing photo locations. The area has 3000ft mountain peaks, including Wales's highest mountain Yr Wyddfa Snowdon, beautiful glacial lakes, some amazing waterfalls as well as a strong industrial and historical heritage with abandoned slate quarries such as Dinorwig above Llanberis, Cwmorthin near Blaenau Ffestiniog and the impressive castles of Conwy and Caernarfon along the North Wales coast. Photo opportunities are everywhere as Snowdonia also has several restored steam trains including the Welsh Highland railway that runs though the beautiful village of Beddgelert and the Ffestiniog railway that transports you from the seaside harbour in Porthmadog to the slate-quarrying town of Blaenau Ffestiniog through some dramatic Snowdonia mountain scenery.
