Parks & Nature
Why it says “Station” I’ve no idea! The most well known gardens in North Wales and deservedly so, about 60 acres of National Trust gardens, well worth a visit. Maybe try Conwy Falls Cafe on the way or go into Betws-y-Coed

Mountains
Pen-y-pass carpark now needs to be booked! No parking on the road or you will get a fine!
Often the reason for a visit to the area, to summit Snowdon itself! The train needs to be booked and research is advised for the best routes if walking/climbing, depending on capabilities. An early start is essential, especially considering parking limitations. It tends to be busy and at times, very! There are so many alternatives worth considering too. The Cafe at the top is crap!
