Situated between the sea and the towering Cader Idris mountain range in southern Eryri (Snowdonia) is the picturesque market town of Llanberis. It's a great place to stay if you want to explore Eryri (Snowdonia) and then relax on the beach in Barmouth, Fairbourne, or Aberdovey. The town itself has a wide variety of stores, bars (including five pubs and a wine bar), eateries (including several highly regarded restaurants and cafes), and bakeries (two of which provide daily fresh loaves and pastries). Dolgellau is a designated 'cycle break centre' with a variety of dedicated bike routes all throughout the area, and it is also home to over 200 listed structures, reportedly the biggest number in all of Wales. The Coed y Brenin mountain bike route is nearby, and the surrounding area is perfect for anyone looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful natural setting.
