Snowdonia

[Toffeecat]

Hi all, we're off to Snowdonia fairly soon. Luckily given all the grief motorhome folk are taking im leaving the throw away barbecues behind, nappies and other assorted shi% and taking advice from the good folk on here and have booked into campsites. Ok not what i would normally do but it keeps the missus sweet and in these times i thought best listen to you folk and swallow my pride. As ive never been to Snowdonia whats your fav places to visit? Ok theres the big hill but anything you can recommend. Works been a nightmare of late and i really need a peacefull break. The Mach Loop looks good. Places to photograph, wildlife etc etc.

It's a long walk up that hill, though there is a train (big money)
You wont have to go far before the camera is out ,

National slate museum Llanberis is worth a visit. Can get the lake railway from much the same place.
