Thinking of spending a few days in Snowdonia. What is the best town/village to stay as a centre for a family walking holiday. Preferably with some alternative activities for when it rains or the kids get bored of walking.
Are the any easy high level routes?
Chris,
Last time we went to Snowdonia we stayed in Beddgelert. It's a tiny village - very pretty and only about 5-10 minutes from Snowdon. However, this is not a great base for the evening time - there are only a couple of pubs and limited shopping facilities.
On the drive back home we passed through Betws-y-Coed, this looked like a much better place to stay (and there's loads of gear shops
). Robbo's suggestion of Capel Curig is also a good one.
