Description
The Lledr Valley is situated in Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. Considered an oft-overlooked feature due to its relative isolation as compared to the rest of the park, Lledr Valley draws visitors seeking solitude and quiet, rewarding them with some of the most stunning views in the park.
When George Elbert Burr visited Snowdonia he likely saw numerous waterfalls, ancient castle ruins, and of course, vast and impressive panoramas of the valley itself. In the far distance is the peak of Mount Snowdon; in the foreground, Alfon Lledr, a tributary of the Conwy River.
