Summit Snowdon & Scoff Steak in Wales and Chester

Begin your day with breakfast bright and early at the hotel. Serving a delicious hot and cold buffet with plenty of traditional Welsh dishes thrown in for good measure, it's the perfect opportunity to fuel your body for a very exciting and active day ahead.

Once you've had breakfast and checked out of your room, you'll need to move your car from the hotel's car park to the nearby Padarn Country Park Car Park.
You can park here for the full day so you don't have worry about getting a parking ticket while you're hiking the summit of Mount Snowdon!

Pay a quick visit to the village's local supermarket to stock up on some hiking snacks and essentials.
Make sure you have plenty of food and water for your hike up Mount Snowdon, as well as any additional supplies you think you might need to tackle the mountain!
Opening hours: Monday to Sunday: 7 AM - 11 PM

With a long walk ahead of you, it's time to begin the journey to the summit of Snowdon! From the village of Llanberis, you can take the Llanberis Path route which is often cited as the easiest hiking route to get to the top of Mount Snowdon.
The route is approximately 14.5km round-trip and will take around 7 hours to complete the return journey. Allow yourself extra time with plenty of rest stops if you need it.
Once you're at the summit, spend an hour or so marvelling at the breathtaking views from the highest peak in Wales and enjoy plenty of snacks and refreshments that you purchased from the local supermarket earlier in the day.
Note, the walking time that the route has provided isn't quite accurate - you can expect to take around 3 and a half hours each way to hike up and down the mountain.

Hike back down the mountain, giving yourself plenty of time before it gets dark (this itinerary is intended for use in the summer months, so it doesn't usually get dark until around 9 PM for most of the summer).
Head back to Padarn Country Park Car Park and collect your car ready to begin the journey back to Liverpool.
Note, the walking time that the route has provided isn't quite accurate - you can expect to take around 3 and a half hours each way to hike up and down the mountain.

Before you arrive back in Liverpool, park up at Watergate Street Car Park in Chester so that you can easily head into the city for some well-deserved dinner. You can park for just £1.50 as you'll be arriving after 6 PM.
Return back to your car after your meal to set off on your final journey back to Liverpool.

From the car park, it's just a short 10-minute walk (which will be nothing compared to your extensive hike to the top of Mount Snowdon earlier in the day!) to Upstairs At The Grill where you'll be dining for the evening.
After an incredibly strenuous day of hiking, you'll have likely worked up quite the appetite, so it's time to treat yourself to the delights of the menu. Indulge in starters such as rich French onion soup and ham hock terrine, main courses such as a classic sirloin or go for something more extravagant such as the Porterhouse or New York Strip steak.
If you've still got room for pudding, choose from desserts such as sticky toffee pudding and crème brulée.
The restaurant only opened in 2022 so it's advisable to book a table ahead of your visit to avoid disappointment.
Opening hours: Monday to Sunday: 12 PM - 11 PM
