“The Snowdonia Mountains and Coast area is quickly developing to be one of the UK’s top tourism destinations for outdoor activities. From golfing, walking and fishing to more adventurous activities such as mountain biking, climbing and water sports, we’ve got it all for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors.
“With more and more people choosing not to travel abroad for their holidays, this is a great opportunity for us to remind people about the fantastic activities and facilities that Gwynedd has to offer.
“It’s important that we support local companies and the new booklets and the marketing campaign will provide a boost to all parts of the tourism sector locally. It is vitally important that local people make the most of the opportunities available to enjoy the countryside in their own square mile.”

A booklet promoting fantastic fishing opportunities which the area has to offer. It includes information about the top sea fishing locations, details about lake and river fishing and information about how visitors can net themselves a bargain with a fishing break.
