Geography Visits

Electric Mountain Visitor Centre

Your trip starts at the Museum of the North at the foot of Snowdon. From here you will travel into Elidir Mountain to view Dinorwig Power Station, the largest pumped storage power station in Europe. Worksheets cover how electricity was discovered, how it reaches your home, and how a power station works.

Snowdonia National Park & Visitor Centre

840 square miles of varied countryside - mountains, lakes, forests, three lovely estuaries and 25 miles of coastline, much of it with sandy beaches, this is not a park in the sense of a 'pleasure ground' but a working landscape. There are country-side centres at Llanrwst, Llanberis, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Harlech, Bala, Aberdovey and Dolgellau, where staff can advise visitors and where displays are set out giving an introduction to each Centre's part of the park. Another fascinating way of appreciating the Park countryside is by exploring the landscape, nature and forest trails, laid out along some of the more popular walks.

Approximately 25 miles from Llandudno itself is the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales. Its summit, 3,560 ft above sea level, is reached by the only rack and pinion railway in Britain, opened in 1896 and still operated entirely by coal fired steam locomotives. The railway climbs more than 3,000 ft to the very summit of Snowdon in a distance of just less than five miles. On a fine day the views from the trains are unsurpassed.

Padarn Country Park

Situated at the foot of Snowdon Mountain and on the shore of Padarn Lake, is the Padarn Country Park, Lakeside Steam Railway and Slate Museum. This complex provides a wide selection of activities to suit most tastes. Extensive woodland and nature trails, information centre, historic hospital, deserted village, old slate quarry, magnificent views and picnic area.

Conwy Castle

Conwy Castle is one of the ring of castles built by Edward I to rule north Wales after he defeated the Welsh princes. A walled town for English settlers was established at the same time. The walls and castle are remarkably complete and in 1987 was added to the World Heritage List of sites of outstanding value.
