スリン・スラダウ周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

Yr Wyddfa（スノードン）へは多くのルートがありますが、ワトキン・パスは国立公園当局によって公式に認められている6つのトレイルの1つです。ランベリスやペン・イ・パスからのルートよりも静かで、最もきついルートの1つでもあります。1892年に首相ウィリアム・グラッドストンによって開設された、英国初の公道でもありました。

Beginning of Watkins' path

Where Gladstone gave his Justice for Wales speech.

Beautiful hike, too bad it was cloudy at the top. 12.3 km isn't the actual distance you'll be hiking: it's definitely 10 km more because you can't walk a straight line on this path. It's very busy on this trail; there's a queue to reach the top.

Crazy hiking all the way up and then seeing a train pass you on the final section!

If you want to park here, you have to reserve a parking space in advance for 20 GBP. We didn't manage to do it, as everything was fully booked. You can then park in Llanberies and take the Sherpa Bus S1 or S2 to Pen y Pass. The bus runs every half hour. From Pen y Pass, you can then choose the Miner's Track or Pyg Track. Have fun!

Currently parking is pre-booking only! All others are directed to the P+R in the village and need to get up by bus or walk.

What a mess at the top, a long line waitng on the stairs for the top even on weekdays (some struggling to climb the stairs in wind), a totally overcrowded cafe and more slippers than in most shoe shops. The easy ascent by railway probably contributes to this, but even without the chain of hikers working up the easier approaches is impressive.
