Not exactly the Peak District but....I am visitng the Snowdon area for a long weekend next weekend with family and friends. Where might I get some decent landscapes early in the morning without taking the family and without having to walk miles. We are staying very near to Llanrug near Caernarfon. I am prepared to drive maybe 15 or 20 miles from my base. A bit of an obscure question but it's my first time to North Wales and I want to make the most of every opportunity.

cheers
