Kids Days Out In Llanberis

Llanberis sits at the foot of Snowdon and is the busiest of the mountain villages, which makes it a practical family base. The Llanberis Lake Railway runs narrow gauge steam trains along Llyn Padarn with views up to the mountains, and it is short enough to suit small children. The Snowdon Mountain Railway climbs from the village to the summit, and the National Slate Museum nearby is free and surprisingly gripping. Dolbadarn Castle and the lakeside path give a straightforward walk when you want to be outdoors without committing to a peak.
