E le g a n t row s of

The selection of ac­

The mountains of Snowdonia and the Isle of Anglesey appear to be within touching distance, and on a clear day the Isle of Man and Lancashire, coa s t, and even the mountains of the Lake District 80 miles distant, can also be seen. The summit can be

Points of interest, in­ cluding relics of prehis­ toric man, can be found along th e d if fe re n t tracks and Bishop’s Cave just below the .summit is a mecca for the fossil h u n te r . Copper was mined on the Orme from Roman times until the middle of the last cen­ tury and several sealed off mine shafts are still visible. On the lower slopes of

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 Tivers; rivers that become wider and flow more serenely through thfe 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.
