Snowdonia Slate Trail is a long distance footpath, running 83 miles (134 km) as a circular route around Northern Snowdonia starting from Bangor.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It passes through the main areas and heritage sites associated with the slate industry, and also through some of the major landscapes.

It is possible to do the trail in seven days using public transport based in Caernarfon or Bangor.[7]

An ultra marathon is organised around the entire trail each year.[8]
