Photo Tour Snowdonia & North Wales

This one-week photography tour takes you to the north-west of Europe, to Wales. Wales is not big, but it is full of surprises and is a wonderful region. The country is characterised by its unique Welsh language and Celtic culture.

You will spend six nights in a selected accommodation near Snowdonia National Park and discover the Northwest of Wales including the coastal region of Anglesey.

Snowdonia National Park is the heart of North Wales. Snowdonia is the oldest of the three national parks in Wales and this impressive mountainous region shows you the country at its most pristine. The coastal region of Anglesey is considered a top photo spot in the UK.

The travel time of the trip is perfect for the autumn colours of Wales. On this photo tour you will experience varied landscapes and spectacular photo highlights far away from the tourist crowds. Get inspired by idyllic lakes and rivers, rugged coastal areas, rugged mountains, breath-taking rock formations and much more. You will be thrilled.

Benefit from our local photo guide Nick Hanson, who knows Wales inside out. The best photo spots are guaranteed on this photo tour.

Photographic highlights on this Photo Tour Snowdonia & North Wales

  • On this photo tour you will be accompanied by professional and well-known photographer Nick Hanson. Wales is Nick’s second home, as his wife comes from here. He therefore knows the country excellently.
  • On this photo tour through North Wales you will visit classic photo locations as well as unknown spots that are still an insider tip.
  • Wales’ fickle and ever-so-rapidly changing weather makes for fantastic lighting scenes, guaranteeing you high-contrast and dramatic shots.
  • Autumn is a wonderful time to see the colours of Wales’ nature. The days become shorter, the sun is low and fog forms in the valleys. During the day, however, an area of high pressure can provide clear weather conditions. This is considered the best time for mountain photography before winter sets in.
  • From the rugged coastline with lighthouses and beautiful beaches on the island of Anglesey to Snowdonia National Park, the North West of Wales offers photographers a wide range of exciting photo opportunities. You’ll see spectacular mountains, beautiful lakes, waterfalls and abandoned quarries. If you’re lucky, you’ll also photograph wildlife in Wales. The breath-taking landscape is home to mountain goats and wild ponies.
  • On this tour you are far away from the tourist crowds and experience pure nature, peace and seclusion.

Fitness level of this photo tour

The trip is not particularly physically demanding. However, you should be fit enough to take part in short, moderate walks on the local hiking trails and be sure-footed. The hiking trails in Wales (if they exist at all) can be somewhat uneven or boggy in places, as they usually lead through moorland and heathland or along streams and ravines. Many photo locations are easily accessible by car or a short hike. Certain locations may involve a walking time of around 1 hour per route. The hiking trails are mostly on flat terrain or involve a slight incline.

Weather

In Wales, the probability of experiencing all four seasons in one day is quite high. It is precisely these rapidly changing weather conditions that can be extremely exciting for photographing the landscapes. Fantastic lighting moods are created, and the shots immediately take on more drama.

Travel Time November

November is a great month to explore North Wales photographically. On the one hand, the weather is particularly changeable now, which can make for fantastic light moods, and on the other hand, sunrise and sunset take place at very pleasant times. Temperatures during the day are between 5 - 10 degrees.

Condition

The trip is not particularly physically demanding. However, you should be fit enough to take part in short, moderate walks on the local hiking trails and be sure-footed. The hiking trails in Wales (if they exist at all) can be somewhat uneven or boggy in places, as they usually lead through moorland and heathland or along streams and ravines. Many photo locations are easily accessible by car or a short hike. Certain locations may involve a walking time of around 1 hour per route. The hiking trails are mostly on flat terrain or involve a slight incline.

Procedure Photo Workshop / Photo Trip

To ensure that you can capture images at the right time with the right light in the golden and blue hours, we will be out and about for around 4 hours each, especially at sunrise and sunset times. In between, you will have time at your own disposal to rest a little, explore the surroundings or, if you wish, take part in image discussions and tutorials.

Insurance

It is strongly recommended that you take out cancellation insurance and return travel insurance, which covers evacuation, local hospitalisation and return travel costs to Switzerland in the event of an emergency.
