What do you know about Snowdonia?

Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Ghasimi - Castles, lakes, waterfalls and steam railways help you create a surreal experience in Snowdonia , which is very popular with hiking, mountaineering, canoeing and other outdoor sports.

Snowdonia is a region in North Wales that also includes a national park of the same name. In addition to the beauty and splendor of nature, many aspects of traditional Welsh life prevail, including food, clothing and crafts that still exist.

The Snowdonia National Park covers an area of 2,142 square kilometers and is the first among the three national parks in Wales, as it was established in 1951. Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales, with a height of 1,085 meters.

The region is also steeped in history and legend, and one of its most important historical sites is the natural castle of the princes of Gwynedd, including Llewellyn, who was the last real Welsh prince to be truly born in Wales, and he was killed in 1282.

Snowdonia National Park is for Wales what the Lake District is for England. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty, and lakes are a wonderful feature like mountain peaks, and therefore water sports are widely spread alongside mountain sports.

Much of the slate in the world is quarried from this region, so you will see the landscape here dotted with scars from the slate pits caused by the mines, some of which are still active today, and there are many rural buildings that depend on these stones, and they are a wonderful sight in the villages.
