From rugged peaks to beautiful valleys, tumbling rivers to epic waterfalls, serene pools to breath-taking lakes: Eryri is a land of jaw-dropping beauty. And it’s not just the spectacular landscape that makes this place so special and unique but also the culture, language, history, and heritage. Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri (Snowdonia National Park) came into being in 1951 and is the oldest National Park in Wales. It is also home to 26,000 people, 58% of whom are Welsh-speaking, although in some communities the figure is over 85%.
Eryri is a place people naturally feel ‘hiraeth’ for when they are away from it. This Welsh word has no direct English translation: it conveys a yearning or a longing for a place. I well remember living away from home for the first time when I was at university in London and feeling this hiraeth for Eryri. I longed to be back in the mountains of home.
