Photographs of Snowdonia
Few places have the variety of landscapes that you find in Snowdonia. At the centre of the area are the mountains, dominated by the peak of Snowdon itself. There are 15 mountains over 3000 feet high, which may not seem big in world terms, but many of these are real mountains with serious faces on them. Mountains such as Tryfan, Crib Goch and Glyder Fach can draw the walker, scrambler and climber back time and time again to tackle new challenges.

Capel Garmon Neolithic Burial Chamber
The Capel Garmon Burial Chamber is a neolithic burial chamber of the 3rd millennium Capel Garmon Burial ChamberBC. It is located in a farmer's field near Betws y Coed high above the Conwy Valley and there are wonderful views of Snowdonia. It is a major archaeological site and it is well worth a visit if only for the fantastic views of the Snowdonia National Park, indeed I would have to describe it as a "tomb with a view".

The Visual Arts in North Wales
There is an ever changing program of art exhibitions in the public and private galleries in North Wales. Many tend to feature local artists and nearly all offer work for sale. There are two permanent exhibitions, one already mentioned at Bodelwyddan Castle, the other a gallery dedicated to the artist: Sir Kyffin Williams RA. at Oriel Mon, the Anglesey Art Gallery. Entry to public galleries is free but the Bodelwyddan permanent exhibition comes as part of cost of the castle admission fee. Bodelwyddan also hosts major touring exhibitions and occasional lunchtime lectures.
