Creating a world-class outdoor adventure destination

Meirionnydd in south Snowdonia is one of the UK’s top visitor destinations, attracting hundreds of thousands of people to its spectacular scenery, rugged countryside and outdoor adventure activities each year.

Snowdonia - one big adventure is a £4 million project creating and developing the best outdoor adventure opportunities the sector can offer through four key sites.

Antur 'Stiniog, Blaenau Ffestiniog
Antur Stiniog have developed four bike trails in Blaenau Ffestiniog and are attracting mountain bikers of all abilities. The super-fast flowing trails have rollers, jumps, drops and rock features as well as some of the best berms around. In early 2013 there will be a visitor centre at Llechwedd with café, conference facilities, showers and bike workshop. Keep up to date with news and developments by joining their Facebook group.

Coed-y-Brenin Forest Park, Dolgellau
Coed y Brenin Forest Park near Dolgellau is already well-known for its awesome mountain bike trails and visitor facilities. Snowdonia – one big adventure is enhancing the Park further with additional mountain biking (MTB) trails for a wider range of ages and abilities, including the new ‘blue graded’ MinorTaur trail, skills area and improved visitor centre facilities.

Prysor Angling, Trawsfynydd
Llyn Trawsfynydd already attracts a wide range of anglers locally and from further afield. The lake is considered to be one of the finest trout fisheries in the country, with international competitions being held regularly for the Stocheck Rainbow and Wild Brown Trout. Pike have recently become the choice of an increasing number of anglers at the lake and with a large number of fish over the magical 20lb being caught already, the lake is expected to gain a reputation for fine specimens of Pike. With the support of Snowdonia – one big adventure, the Prysor Angling Association is creating new facilities for anglers and improving activities at the lake. The aim is to have a fishing destination like no other.

Gwersyll yr Urdd Glan-llyn, Llanuwchllyn, Bala
Glan-llyn is a great outdoor centre, attracting families, schools and groups throughout the year. Operated by Urdd Gobaith Cymru, it already provides a range of climbing, walking and water activities on Llyn Tegid, Bala. You’d think it had it all! But through Snowdonia – one big adventure, new accommodation facilities have been developed and a new cycle path linking to nearby Llanuwchllyn is being created.

Working in partnership with Gwynedd Council, Tourism Partnership Mid Wales, Forestry Commission Wales, Urdd Gobaith Cymru, Prysor Angling Association, Antur Stiniog, Snowdonia National Park Authority and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
