The Walk Eryri Directory

If you have accommodation or a business in Snowdonia, then please email us and we can include you on the accommodation directory that launches in January 2009. A basic listing (name, address and phone number) is free, while an enhanced listing is now £15 pa which will include a link and an image. For £50 upwards, we can provide you with a webpage or site too!

The directory gets the exposure on the Walk Eryri Family of websites, including Snowdonia's leading walking website , long distance trekking site and blog to over 5000 people each month and growing! Don't be fooled by website hits. They mean nothing, but give a nice big figure with which to make you think you're getting more than you are!

Rest assured that you're dealing with people who know the area intimately, and care for it with a passion. We strongly believe in running our site and business sustainably, and are aiming to become Green Dragon accredited in the near future (when we're not too busy walking the hills!).

Self Guided Walks.

We can offer your business a guided walk pack designed and approved by a qualified mountain leader. This includes a number of walks from your location, with the route modified to fit your exact location, They include maps and we can even put the routes on a GPS if you want. These packages start from £150 for six walks, high quality images, maps and a webpage with your business description on it and a list of the walks. If you want to offer something more unique, then you can mix our standard package along with some 'bespoke' routes exclusive to your business!

Bespoke walks for your Business or Organisation.

You can even sponsor a walk description from your business for a one off fee of £150 (if you're in the North Snowdonia area, we charge a small travel fee elsewhere). This includes a full walk description (in numbered steps) and a descriptive element, plus a number of photographs (inlcuding the high quality shots so you can use them in publications) to illustrate the route and a simple map. This route will be featued on www.walkeryri.org.uk (if you wish) and you can use it in your own promotional literature. If you want more than one walk, then get in touch with us.

Gallwn hefyd greu'r pecynnau yn y Gymraeg os bu angen, efallai fydd help ar gael mewn ffurf grantiau i'w gyfieithu.

We can produce the packs in Welsh too, there might be grant aid available for the translation.
