Llanberis is located at the foot of Snowdon making easy access for all the amenities and local attractions of North Wales. Our apartments are on the High Street conveniently next to a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants. Their central location also give you an ideal place to explore the local culture and history, in which the Welsh-speaking identity and heritage is one of the richest in Wales.

Though most visitors come here for the ascent of Snowdon, the village of Llanberis has an array of tourist attractions that reflect the fact that its livelihood once depended on its great slate quarries. The Snowdon Mountain Railway, the only one of its kind in Britain, still hauls passengers to the summit by steam power.

Llanberis is at the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, which extends from the mountains overlooking Conwy Bay in the north to the peak of Cader Idris and the estuary of the Dyfi in the south. At its core is Snowdon, at 1,085 metres (3,560 feet) the highest mountain in England and Wales. As well as some of the country's most spectacular mountain ranges such as the rounded Carneddau, the rugged Rhinogs, or the less well-known Arans, the national park also includes splendid stretches of coastline, lush valleys, rugged stone villages,and an array of lakes. Although farming and tourism are the main activities today, there are many traces of the industries which once flourished here, from old copper mines to the great slate quarries at Llanberis and Blaenau Ffestiniog. Britain's only rack-and-pinion railway climbs to the very summit of Snowdon, while other steam railways chug inland from Porthmadog and Tywyn on the coast.

Close to Llanberis is the historic town of Caernarfon, famous above all for its mighty medieval castle. The most magnificent of the fortresses erected by King Edward I in the late 13th century, Caernarfon Castle was built to secure his hold on newly conquered North Wales. The town was founded at the same time and its defensive walls remain intact. However, it is the castle that dominates the scene, providing a magnificent setting for the investiture of the Prince of Wales. The cathedral city of Bangor, only a few miles from Llanberis, also offers attractions such as Penrhyn Castle and the lively atmosphere of a university city.
