| Dominated by the grandeur of Mount Snowdon,
Llanberis is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris, and is one of the most
popular(and most spectacular) tourist centres in the National Park. Snowdonia is one of
the UK's National beauty spots, and is filled with scenery that will leave you breathless.
The lakes, the forests and the remains of the huge
Dinorwig slate quarries have been blended together to provide something of interest for
young and old, whatever the weather. |

Llanberis Lake Railway offers a 40-minute trip on
an historic narrow gauge train from the Gilfach Ddu car park along the shore of Llyn
Padarn, with great views of the mountains.
Padarn Country Park is the setting for the
Welsh Slate Museum, the lake railway and many other attractions. Much of the park is a
hillside of oak woodland overlooking Llyn Padarn. Llyn Padarn offers a wide range of
watersports including fun boats, canoeing, windsurfing and sailing at Padarn Water Sports
Centre.
