Public Access

The National Park Authority has an important role to play in making sure that the public can enjoy and fully appreciate Snowdonia’s special qualities.

Access on Public Rights of Way

Gwynedd and Conwy Councils, as Highways Authorities, are legally responsible for the public rights of way in the Snowdonia National Park. The Councils maintain the Definitive Map, process Orders and Modifications to the Map, prepare Rights of Way Improvement Plans, and deal with obstructions on rights of way.

In co-operation with the Highways Authorities, however, the National Park Authority, invests funding every year in improving useful paths which link villages, attractions and beauty spots. Paths are made easier to use and are clearly waymarked, under the Authority’s Leisure Network initiative.
