Snowdonia National Park is one of the most beautiful destinations in the UK. Here’s a collection of our favourite photos from our trips to Snowdonia National Park, with imposing mountain ranges, huge lakes, picturesque towns and jaw dropping views.
Half way up to the top of Glyder Fawr we stopped from some quiet contemplation to take in the views. With such stunning surroundings it’s hard not to end up doing a mini photo shoot!
Another picture from our mini mountainside photo shoot, looking out over Lake Idwal. Parts of the hike up to Glyder Fawr require some scrambling, so when it was safe to do so we would stop, turn round and soak up the incredible views. Oh, and take some more photos!
On our last trip we hiked to the summit of Snowdon on a beautiful, clear, sunny spring day. Although it was a tough walk up the Rhyd Ddu Path, with no shade and some hair-raising moments along the mountain’s edge, it was totally worth it. The unobstructed views really did take your breathe away and with barely a cloud in the sky we could see for miles.
Oh, and we’re back to the Glyder Fawr photo shoot again, only this time we are getting nearer to the top! This view of Lake Ogwen was taken with our DJI Mavic Pro drone. Only half of this beautiful lake is in the photo, which shows just how big it is! It was cold when we visited in February, but the seeing pristine snow dusting the top of the mountains more than made up for it.The contrast of the glowing, white snow against the dark mountain tops in winter made for some wonderful views. Looking out over Lake Ogwen, surrounded by towering mountains with barely another person around made us feel like we were in the middle of nowhere.
This stunning view is on the Rhyd Ddu Path and near to the top of the Snowdon summit. The part of the walk before this was incredibly steep, with some mountain edge ridge sections thrown in for good measure! That giant ridge blocks the view of the summit for most of the walk up, so when you reach the top it’s quite a shock to see you still have a while to go.
On the way down the Rhyd Ddu path, just below the summit was a quiet area with more than 180 degree views of the valleys and lower peaks below. We rested here for a while, taking it all in and tried our best to capture the wondrous surroundings in a photo. Read about our tough, but rewarding climb up Snowdon here.
The picturesque town of Bets-y-Coed is a delight to walk around or drive through. In the midst of spring these lush trees hugging the river were just asking to be photographed. Near the beginning of our hike up to Glyder Fawr we found the perfect rock for a ‘hand’s in the air, look at me climbing a mountain’ photo. So how could we resist!

Abu Dhabi, oozing opulence at every corner is a city with its own unique lures. It’s true Abu Dhabi is smaller than its neighbouring city Dubai and often overlooked, but we stayed there for 5 nights and realised this shouldn’t be the case.
