4-night Southern Snowdonia Through a Lens Holiday
With woods and water torrents on your doorstep, you’ll be able to capture nature’s wild heart on this photographic break. Mosses, ferns and wildflowers compete under the canopy for your attention – the dappled light may provide a few challenges! The coast at Barmouth offers completely different opportunities with estuary views, Victorian architecture and its picturesque harbour. Lift your lens to the turrets of Harlech Castle and use the Welsh hills as a backdrop. You could practise taking low angle shots at Tomen Y Mur and hone your landscape photography skills in the mountains of Snowdonia.
