North Wales
Where Snowdon stands
North Wales is the northern region of Wales, comprising roughly the top third of the country.
It includes Snowdonia, the highest mountains in Wales, and historic counties like Gwynedd and Clwyd.
The term distinguishes it from South Wales, the more populous and industrial southern region: We're holidaying in North Wales this summer.
