Best time to visit

June to October is the warmest and driest period to enjoy a climbing trip. For reasonably good weather and less crowds, you should visit in April-May and September-October

Weather

Wales has an essentially maritime climate. Weather is often cloudy, cool, wet and windy, but mild most of the year. Snowdonia has a temperate maritime climate. Summers here are typically warm rather than hot, whereas winters are cool to cold. As in the rest of UK, the weather is unpredictable and you can see elements of all four seasons in one day

How to get there

You can easily reach Cardiff Airport from the rest of the UK and continental Europe. From outside Europe, there are no direct flights to Wales. The best option is flying into London (Heathrow or Gatwick) and taking a connection flight to Cardiff from there. Otherwise you could also continue overland from London. If you are visiting North Wales, Manchester is better placed
