    Tips

    September 5, 2024

    The Snowdonia Slate Trail offers a circular 83 mile (133 km) hiking loop starting and finishing at Bangor but taking in Bethesda, Capel Curing, Betws-y-Coed, Llan Festiniog, Beddgelert, and Nantddu back to Bangor. It takes in some of the least visited places in Snowdonia National Park, but it is a journey steeped in industrial history when Snowdonia was the centre of the world slate industry, hence deserving of its UNESCO World Heritage Site status. You will enjoy the variety of this hike as it goes through renowned tourist hotspots such as Llanberis and Betws-y-Coed, as well as going through forests, over mountains, and alongside raging torrents. This is simply a superb and historic hike.
