THE SNOWDONIA SLATE TRAIL | Wild Camping Snowdonia | Wild Camp UK I have just finished wild camping in Snowdonia along The Snowdonia Slate Trail, and it has been quite the adventure! So many unexpected events kept us on our toes! The Snowdonia Slate Trail is 80 miles long, starting in Bangor and ending in Bethesda, taking in the main areas and Heritage sites associated with the Welsh Slate industry. But… are you allowed to wild camp in Snowdonia? And, where can you wild camp in Snowdonia? These are all questions I was asking before my trip. The answer is technically no, but with plenty of wild moor sections and forests I had no problem on this trail. However, always remember to leave no trace, pitch late and leave early… and where possible, get the land owner’s permission. Alternatively, there are plenty of campsites and accommodation available. I rate this long distance hiking trail as one of my favourite wild camping adventures! Walking the Snowdonia Slate Trail was beautiful, and some of the stunning wild camping spots along the way really made it something special! We used the Hiiker app for its GPS map version of this route and would highly recommend it. It’s packed full of handy features.
