Geography Field Trip to Snowdonia

Recently the AS Level Geographers enjoyed a residential field trip to Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. The students studied glacial features such as Ribbon Lakes, Aretes, Corries, Hanging Valleys and a Roche Moutonnee in the beautiful Cwm Idwal and Nant Ffrancon Valley. The weather was kind to them and they had a fabulous experience studying first hand key elements of their A Level course. The trip to the summit of Mount Snowdon was probably the highlight for them as Aadam Sufi writes: “Standing at the top of Mount Snowdon looking down at the spectacular mountain range below gave us a sense of awe and wonder.”
