We love this area. You have to like the great outdoors but if heading off in a campervan is your idea of fun then you will have no problem liking Llanberis. Not only are there some classic walks around here but you can also use Llanberis as a base to go off for the day. We have stuck a few ideas down here.

• The beaches of Anglesey especially Llanddwyn
• Caernarfon Castle
• The Snowdon Mountain railway (although you should walk really)
• Portmeirion
• Harlech Castle
• Conway Castle
• The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highlands Railway
• The Slate Museum in Llanberis itself
• Beddgelert

There are loads of other places to go and things to do. Lots of castles and trains by the looks of it. In llanberis there are plenty of pub and restaurant options including the famous climbers’ caff Pete’s Eats. llanberis actually has one of the best Indian Restaurants we have been to anywhere.

We haven’t recommended a specific campsite here as there are plenty to choose from. At just over 200 miles this is about the furthest we recommend going in one day’s driving but it is worth it. This is a week’s trip and not a weekender.
