Travel savvily and sustainably
Help to reduce visitor numbers in tourism hotspots by planning ahead and researching the best times to visit popular places. And while you’re at it, why not minmise your carbon footprint by using public transport? The Sherpa’r Wyddfa offers reliable and frequent bus services throughout the National Park.

Leave no trace
Protect our natural resources by avoiding activities that could harm the environment and the nature that resides here, e.g., by taking your rubbish home with you.
Plan your visit
Be a respectful visitor
Consider local people and other visitors throughout your trip — always respecting the rights and property of others, e.g., by leaving gates as you see them; keeping noise pollution to a minimum; and only camping in official campsites.
Prioritise safety in the mountains and coast.
Help alleviate strain on emergency services and avoid accidents by following the guidance of Adventure Smart UK and all guidelines within the Countryside Code and Marine Code.
The Marine Code
Leave a positive digital footprint.
It’s important to share your love for Eryri and Gwynedd responsibly on social media. After all, tagging your location in overpopulated areas or showcasing dangerous behaviours can influence others to follow suit. Instead, you can support our cause by telling friends or family about this code and/or posting about your safe and responsible visits with the hashtag/s #Eryri, #Gwynedd and/or #GwyneddAEryriNi.
