Wild Snowdonia in the Autumn

If you are looking for a break away once the holiday destinations get quieter after the school holidays, and you want somewhere that is peaceful, beautiful and teeming with wildlife, then Snowdonia is the perfect place for you. This beautiful landscape in North Wales has huge mountains, stunning waterfalls and beautiful countryside to explore, and late summer and early autumn is the ideal time to go, as the temperatures are lower, making it more pleasant for walkers and you will also be treated to the beautiful autumnal colours of the landscape.

There are plenty of places to stay in the area too – whether you want camping and caravan sites or you want a bit of luxury at somewhere like the best hotel in Llandudno https://stgeorgeswales.co.uk/ there is something for everyone.

In the autumn, many birds are starting to migrate – some are leaving the British Isles, like the swallows and the swifts, whereas many are arriving for the winter. In Snowdonia, you may notice the arrival of waterfowl, such as the Teal arriving in the beautiful lakes from more northerly summer locations.

Head to the Isle of Anglesey off the North Wales coast and you may be fortunate enough to see the native red squirrels collecting nuts to prepare for the winter, and of course now is also a great time to witness the deer rutting, so listen for the bellows of the stags and you may be lucky enough to spot this autumn spectacle.
