Snowdonia named as one of Europe's best attractions for families

Europe is full of amazing attractions and places for families to enjoy - from Disneyland Paris to Berlin Zoo.

Now a new study has listed the Top 50 European destinations that should be on the bucket lists of all families - and the stunning Snowdonia National Park has made the grade.

Taking 38th place in the' study by FatherMag.com, the park has been praised for its gorgeous mountain views and castles that are steeped in history.

Both adults and children alike will love the chance to go out and explore in the wild - from swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding to trekking the mountains - with Snowdonia boasting Wales' tallest mountain, Snowdon.

Families can learn about history at locations such as Conwy Castle and Caernarfon Castle - which have recently been named as top UK World Heritage sites - while adrenalin junkies can enjoy the joys of ZipWorld, which boasts the world's fastest zip line and the longest in Europe.

While Disneyland Paris topped the list, Snowdonia has been placed higher than famous attractions like Legoland in Demark, Elafonisi Beach in Crete and Dino Parc in Romania.

The national park is Wales' only attraction to make the list, with other UK destinations including the Lake District National Park (18th) and Alton Towers (37th).
