Dominated by the grandeur of the Snowdon Massif, Llanberis is flanked by two lakes, Llyn Peris and Llyn Padarn and is one of the most renowned mountain tourist centres in Snowdonia National Park. Llanberis is actually something of a 'mecca' for both walkers and climbers, being the start for the ascent of Snowdon - the highest mountain in England and Wales. The ascent can be made either by foot along one of the many routes to the summit train or on the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Each year, major races attract thousands to the area: The fast 'Snowdon Race' to the summit, held in July and The Snowdonia Marathon, held in October - a gruelling 26 mile course that starts and finishes in Llanberis, circumnavigating the Snowdon Massif. Llanberis itself also offers excellent places to eat and drink and a wide variety of shopping. Only 7 miles from Llanberis, on the coast, is Caernarfon with its amazing Castle and town walls.
