New Fishing Guide for Snowdonia Mountains and Coast

The high peaks of Snowdonia overlook the Llŷn Peninsula and the Irish Sea coast which is strewn with differing fishing locations, mountain granite rock mass plunging steeply into the sea giving deep water fishing marks close to shore. The area’s 300km of coast is strewn with cosy sandy storm and pebble beaches, which are a magnet to the fish that inhabit them.  The Menai Straits which divides the mainland from Anglesey is set in stunning scenery. The fishing here is mainly spring to late autumn with bass being the main quarry, best fished on a rising tide. Baits include crab, rag and lug, spinning is also effective. Dinas Dinlle itself is another venue well worth a visit as late spring early summer sees the arrival of the tope packs.

Mary Jones Walk

By following this linear route, you will walk 28 miles through the spectacular countryside of the old county of Meirionnydd, from an enchanting valley at the foot of Cadair Idris to the shores of Llyn Tegid. You will cross public paths and paths used with the permission of the landowner, over mountain pastures and through woodlands, along old romantic lanes, country roads and short unavoidable sections on the main road. The splendid views of lakes and mountains will astound you.

So it’s wrong to think of Snowdonia exclusively in terms of those high peaks or the dated image of rough-and-ready climbers... and rough-and-ready bunkhouses.  Those times are long gone. The Snowdonia of today is just as likely to welcome aficionados of good food and fine art as lovers of the Great Outdoors. There’s a big, wide welcome for all – adrenaline addicts wanting world-class mountain biking trails, families in search of that perfect beach, couples on a weekend away in a ‘boutique’ hotel, foodies after cuisine that’s fresh, contemporary and full of goodness. Ancient castles, a rich culture and cool new travel experiences are all part of the Snowdonia mix.
