Gwynedd

Gwynedd covers the most mountainous part of Wales, taking in Snowdonia National Park, the Llyn Peninsula and the island of Bardsey at its tip. The mountain scenery around Snowdon, the Glyderau and the Carneddau is spectacular, and the roads through the passes between them give some of the best van driving in Wales.

The Llyn Peninsula to the west is quieter and underrated, with a string of south-facing bays and some excellent overnight spots near the coast. Caernarfon Castle is one of the most impressive in Wales and worth half a day. Overnight options are available throughout the area, with the most popular mountain spots booking up quickly in summer.

Evenings here mean campfires, birds in the hedgerows, and a sky full of stars once the light drops on the Llŷn Peninsula.
