Outdoor Shops, Snowdonia.
We have American friends coming over at Easter for some hill walking and sightseeing in North Wales. Apart from their walking boots, they want to buy all their other gear when they get here.
A friend once mentioned a town in N.Wales where every second shop was an outdoor shop, probably a slight exaggeration. Can't remember the town for the life of me, pretty sure some AB'er will know.

In my experience, outdoor gear is considerably cheaper in the States, so I am not sure why they want to but stuff here ?
Whenever I am in New England, I pay a pilgrimage to this place ::::

Thanks for all your help. Just to answer a few points, the friends are filthy rich so cost isn't an issue. They tell me that we have brands they like, that are not available in the U.S. After two weeks in the U.K. they are going on a three centre holiday in Europe, so baggage allowance limits what they can bring.
Haha Sam have you got Trump coming in on a secret visit? :))
In that case I would take them up to Llanberis or even Dolgellau. I have lived in N. Wales for 50 years. Betwys used to have the best but now caters more for the day visitor rather than the genuine outdoor climber or hiker. It is still a beautiful place mind. Porthmadog also has some top end climbing and hiking outlets.

Sam those small towns in N. Wales are really not going to give massive shopping experiences in terms of choice. They will be stocking specialist stuff for the aficionado that knows exactly what they want. Capel Curig for specialist gear. Betwys Y Coed for a day out and shopping guaranteed, with a pint and a pub lunch outdoors guaranteed under the infra red heaters.(Stables) Trick is they are 15mins drive apart on the A5.
