I didn't actually visit the coffee shop above, as much as I would have liked to, that one was a little too far away from where I was when I was craving my midday cuppa! Instead I visited a coffee shop called 'Penceunant Isaf'. It was so cute, situated along one of the walks up to Snowdon.

The owner was very funny, making the experience there even more enjoyable. Oh and did I mention that the tea was great? There are so many places you can visit and the neighbouring towns are just big, ugly concrete jungles that lack character. I was so pleased to see all the little villages in Snowdonia. They were so different to the villages I am used to at home with tall terraces standing beside narrow, winding roads. In some villages the buildings were painted vibrant colours, like a rainbow town!
It was also great to see so many independent shops lining the villages such as little bread shops and outdoors shops. It helped that when I visited, I went camping. There was absolutely no phone reception where I was which was perfect as it meant I could just get away from it all: the business, social media and any annoying messages that might stress me out!

I was surprised, because in my ignorance, I had assumed that Welsh was spoken about as much as Scottish Gaelic which roughly one percent of Scots currently speak. This is not the case, as around twenty percent of Wales is currently Welsh-speaking. Gwynedd is unique in that it is one of only two Welsh counties in which over half the inhabitants speak Welsh.
I made sure to keep Google handy to avoid mangling any pronunciations of Welsh towns when asking for a bus ticket. Snowdonia boasts Mount Snowdon, the tallest mountain in England and Wales. It takes from two and a half to three hours to hike the summit, and the views up and down are thrilling. Granted, Snowdon is only 3, feet tall, but height is no requirement for staggering beauty. Over half of Snowdonia's day visitors spend time in Betws y Coed.
