Walking/Hiking Answers: Walking/Wild Camping in Snowdonia

Got an answer to the following question?

Walking In Snowdonia

I wonder if you can help me, please, or direct my inquiry. I am from Maine in the U.S. and will be visiting friends working in England (Stroud) over the next few weeks. We would really like to do some walking in Snowdonia and the rest of Wales. I have heard that there is a Snowdonia 'coast to coast' walk, but I haven't been able to find much info in the available guidebooks here or on the web.

We are looking for a 3-5 day overnight trip, although a few day trips may work too. Do you have any info/recommendations?

My only experience in the U.K. is on the West Highland Way, Ben Nevis (although we did the back ridges :) ), and some peaks in NW Scotland, but we are seasoned walkers in the US.

However, we are used to 'backpacking' here and tent camping at night (usually no facilities near mountain trails).

May one camp in the park? Should we bring a filter for drinking water? Any other advice you have is greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help!,
