Climb Snowdon - The highest mountain in England and Wales

SATURDAY GROUP

Yo Mudafacas!

Time to get your arse kicked by the most beloved mountain in the UK.

Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales, towering over the region at a height of 1085m.

Loved for its drama and majesty, the mountain attracts swathes of visitors hoping to conquer it all year round.
