Simply Otherworld, this is. There's no place like Yr Wyddfa (Mt Snowdon) and the range of surrounding peaks. I expected Y Tylwyth Teg (the Fae) to emerge around any corner, and I wasn't disappointed to find what, from a distance, looks like a door to Otherworld (see photos).

And make sure you’re well equipped because the weather can change at any moment but always double check the weather before you go other than that it is absolutely phenomenal. This route has the most fantastic views. I will totally...
