B E W A R E ....................... !!! Car Parking in Snowdonia is very limited and can be expensive if a space can be found The alternative is to leave your car behind and use the Snowdon Sherpa Bus network   IMPORTANT.............. UPDATE................     Arriva have made further minor changes to their connecting "88" service between Llanberis and Caernarfon and vv as shown in the tables below....... This "unofficial" website attempts to show what services are available It contains composite timetables of connecting services on a cross-Snowdonia route basis where a change of bus is necessary --- hopefully it will help you plan your days out It also includes some suggested "trips round Snowdonia - without your car"
