Llyn Crafnant and the peak of Crimpiau at dawn, Snowdonia National Park. Snowdonia – or Eryri in its native Welsh – has been beloved by generations of wanderers for its spectacular mountain scenery and evocative, myth-drenched history.

Weather-sculpted rocks line the edge of the plateau of Kinder Scout, at 636 metres elevation the highest ground in the Peak District.

Where Wales meets England in the South-East of Wales is a landscape of forest, wooded gorges and ancient towns – many of which feature fortifications such as the grand castle at Chepstow. This castle's iron-sheathed doors were built around 1190, and are thought to be the oldest in Europe. Standing above the River Wye at the very entrance (or exit) to Wales, the sprawling castle was commissioned by William the Conqueror and its position gave it considerable strategic importance.
