SNOWDONIA — Dominated by Snowdon towering 3,560 feet above sea level, North Wales is an area of extreme contrast and outstanding natural beauty. Here is the Snowdonia National Park with its 840 square miles of rugged moun­ tains, alpine passes and rushing rivers; rivers that become wider and flow more serenely through the wooded valleys and past little towns and villages on their course to the sea. And it is here, where the miles of sandy beaches have been guarded for centuries by the magnificent castles at Harlech and Criccieth, at Caer­ narfon and Conwy, each one steeped in colourful history. Here too, on the coast, are the resorts that extend a welcome to thousands of holidaymakers each year. In 1981, we look forward to extending a welcome to you, on our holiday to Llan­ dudno — The Gateway to Snowdonia.
