A hiker’s dream. Snowdonia National Park, Wales

Walking Snowdonia National Park, which covers 2,155 square kilometers of captivating landscape and 96 kilometres of coastline, is like listening to a long fairy tale whose words are steps, sentences are miles, and stories are experiences. Legends and myths such as the tales of King Arthur, Merlin, sleeping dragons, and lost mystical artefacts are woven into the history of its trails, making it a rich and beautiful experience to traverse. In many ways, it is a perfect expression of Welsh culture, people, and traditions—an unconditional expression of the essence of Wales.
