Snowdonia National Park (Welsh: Parc Cenedlaethol
Eryri) was established in 1951 as the third National Park in Britain,
following the Peak District and the Lake District. It covers 827
square miles (2,140 km2), and has 37 miles (60 km) of coastline.
The Park is governed by the Snowdonia National
Park Authority, which is made up of local government and Welsh
representatives, and its main offices are at Penrhyndeudraeth.
Unlike national parks in other countries, Snowdonia (and other
such parks in Britain) are made up of both public and private
lands under central planning authority.
More than 26,000 people live within the Park,
of whom about 62% can speak at least some Welsh. The Park attracts
over 6 million visitors annually, split almost equally between
day and staying visitors, making it the third most visited National
Park in England and Wales.
Celtic Trails is one of Britain’s most experienced walking
companies, providing tailored walking itineraries for clients who
appreciate high standards of service, comfort and organisation.
