  • Snowdonia & the Llŷn
    © Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd SNOWDONIA & THE LLŶN 3 PERFECT DAYS DAY 1 // CONQUER THE MOUNTAIN Check the weather forecast before making an assault on Snowdon (p226). If you’re fit, catch the Snowdon Sherpa bus to Pen-y-Pass and take the Pyg Track (p227). Time your descent via the Rhyd Ddu Path to catch the Welsh Highland Railway (p244) back to Caernarfon. If you’re not up for climbing, head to Llanberis and take the Snowdon Mountain Railway (p227). You’ll be up and down the mountain in 2½ hours, leaving plenty of time to check out the National Slate Museum (p230) and Dolbadarn Castle (p231) before stocking up on mead at Snowdon Honey Farm (p231). Head to Caer- narfon and watch the sunset over the Menai Strait from beside the city walls before dining at the Black Boy Inn (p235). DAY 2 // BE A PILGRIM Spend the morning exploring Caernarfon Castle (p233) before heading for the Llŷ n Peninsula. Ideally you’ll have prebooked a boat to Bardsey but if they’re not running, make do with gazing at the island from Braich-y-Pwll (p239). Abersoch (p241), Cric- cieth (p243) and Porthmadog (p244) are good places to stop for the night, but Harlech (p218) has the best restaurants – along with another World Heritage castle. DAY 3 // A SCENIC OVERLOAD Wherever you ended up, take the scenic A498 through the Pass of Aberglaslyn and back into the national park. Spend the day pottering along the route between Beddge- lert (p228) and Betws-y-Coed (p222), stopping at the lakes, lookouts and falls.

  • Rhododendron in Snowdonia and a Strategy for Its Control
    AWDURDOD PARC CENEDLAETHOL ERYRI Rhododendron in Snowdonia and a strategy for its control SNOWDONIA NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY 1 Executive Summary Rhododendron has become established over more than 2000 ha of Snowdonia National Park and poses a major threat to native plants and animals. The factors that promote and constrain the invasion are reviewed, the distribution of the Rhododendron is analysed with respect to habitat, ownership and other factors. Most of the Rhododendron occurs in six areas. Woodlands and steep sites are particularly favoured sites. The history of control over the last thirty years is reviewed. Significant progress has been made over this period particularly in Dyffryn Ffestiniog and more recently south of Beddgelert and the south side of the Mawddach estuary. Using a GIS model, it is estimated that it will cost about £10M to effectively control Rhododendron in the Park and adjoining areas (Blaenau Ffestiniog, Corris, Aberangell). An attempt has been made to identify future priority areas for control based on the threat to areas of high conservation value whose features are threatened by Rhododendron. Control of Rhododendron throughout the Park and adjacent areas is feasible in the long term. The strategy proposes 12 recommendations. Co-operation between the main bodies that have a strategic role in land management will be more or less essential to ensure that control programmes can take place in an effective strategic manner. A key recommendation is that a Partnership is set up in order to co-ordinate future work. Several recommendations elucidate the role of the Partnership. For example, that it would maintain and share a GIS–based record of control programmes.

Snowdonia National Park Authority (SNPA) is committed to the protection and conservation of all aspects of the environment, including the night sky, and as such supports the mission and goals of the IDA. The Authority believes that achieving IDSR status for the SNP will further raise the profile of the Light Pollution issue in Wales following the successful application from the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority in 2013. It will assist SNPA in gaining support in protecting the excellent quality of dark skies which we already have in Snowdonia from the general public, business, and politicians, and to improve it further where needed.
