The popular mountain tourist centre of Llanberis is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris, and dominated by the stunning Snowdon Massif, in the beautful Snowdonia National Park. With the option to catch the mountain train or pick from the many walking trails to the top, visitors to Llanberis often stop to enjoy the town on their way to take in the outstanding views from the summit of Snowdon, which is the highest mountain in England and Wales. The annual Llanberis Marathon in October takes runners over a gurelling 26 mile course, beginning and ending in the town. For the chance to relax, the sandy beaches, exhilarating watersports and rocky shorelines of the coast are just a few miles away.
