NGL I crave this…

After an unforgettable summer here in North Wales, we’re all starting to crave a little of this…

Storm clouds rolling over the mountains. Mist hanging low over the valleys. Little Welsh villages with lights glowing in the windows. Boots drying by the door after a wet walk and absolutely no guilt about spending the rest of the afternoon somewhere warm with a coffee.

Because anyone can love North Wales in summer… it takes a soul to love it like this.

And honestly? We think autumn and winter might just be when Eryri is at its best.

The crowds thin out, the mountains get moodier, the waterfalls get louder and places like Betws-y-Coed, Beddgelert and the Ogwen Valley feel completely different beneath grey skies and autumn colours.

Then there’s that feeling of coming back in from the cold.

Hot shower. Dry socks. Something warm to drink. A cosy corner at The Rocks. No need to be anywhere else.

If you’re searching for an autumn break in North Wales, a winter walking weekend in Snowdonia, or an affordable place to stay in Eryri National Park, consider this your sign to embrace the moody season.

Our staff picks for the spots you do not want to miss in North Wales and Eryri National Park this Autumn.

Because honestly, Eryri in autumn is hard to beat. Quieter trails, misty mornings, mountains turning gold, cold-water dips that are questionable at best and that smug feeling when you get back somewhere warm after a full day outside.
So if you’re planning an autumn break in North Wales, here’s a little bucket list to get you started…
Ride the Fforest Coaster through the trees, catch sunset at Llynau Mymbyr, walk straight from our door up Moel Siabod, spend an afternoon in Betws-y-Coed, explore Cwmorthin Quarry, follow part of the Snowdonia Slate Trail, hike Yr Wyddfa or head into the Ogwen Valley for some of the best walking in Eryri.
And conveniently, The Rocks Hostel at Plas Curig sits right in the middle of all of it 👀
So whether you’re looking for a North Wales hiking weekend, an autumn getaway in Snowdonia, somewhere to stay near Betws-y-Coed, or a good-value hostel in Eryri National Park where you can chuck your muddy boots off at the end of the day… you know where to find us.
Save this for your North Wales autumn bucket list 🍁

Autumn might just be our favourite time of year in North Wales

The summer crowds start to disappear, the mountains turn every shade of orange and gold, and suddenly coming back from a long day hiking to a hot shower, a cosy sofa and a brew feels approximately 73% better.

You’ve got Moel Siabod practically on the doorstep, the Ogwen Valley just down the road, Yr Wyddfa within easy reach and Betws-y-Coed only a short drive away.

Spend the day hiking, chasing waterfalls, wild swimming, exploring mountain villages or convincing yourself that a 12km walk is “just a nice little wander”… then head back, get warm and spend the evening swapping questionable mountain decisions with people who completely get it.

And you don’t need to spend a fortune on a North Wales getaway either. We’ve got hostel dorms from just £38 a night, plus private rooms if you like the hostel atmosphere but prefer a little more privacy.
