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 (Sherpa journeys are shown in GREEN and other connecting journeys in black) LATEST.......... There are minor changes to the Conwy Valley connecting "19" weekday and Sunday services including a new 1840 journey from Betws-y-Coed which connects off the last return "S2" Sherpa from Llanberis
