Now dozens of illegally parked cars are towed away at Welsh beauty spot after ... trends now

Furious locals who live around Snowdon have shared their anger as Easter tourists saw their cars being towed by police - after parking illegally and clogging up the Welsh beauty spot.

Pictures shared by angry residents showed a huge queue of hikers snaking up to the summit of England and Wales' highest peak after they descended on the scenic spot.

Icy ground and snow-capped mountains could not deter the dogged explorers trekking to the remote spot - with some even wearing shorts to battle the elements.

Others showed off pictures of illegally-parked cars blocking pavements as they crammed into the road leading up the the mountain's walking routes.

And they delighted as police were seen towing them away - with trucks pulling unwanted vehicles from the snaking country roads.

It comes after a weekend where rural regions across the UK were left fuming after the country descended on the countryside for the Easter break.

One walker, called Andy Berry, said: 'I now avoid all the major peaks because I can no longer escape, from those who don't respect the mountains.'

Pippa Mizen added: 'Love Snowdon but certainly won’t be going up there with that many people on it! Will find somewhere else to go with less humans on it!'

Another, Anne Jones, said: 'I'm just so glad I did all the main peaks years ago before social media spoilt it and made the world and his wife think they can climb everything. 

'As has been said there are plenty of unspoilt areas in Wales to discover.'

Another, called Daimo, laughed: 'I bloody love Snowdon!!! Keeps all the punters in one place and leaves the entire national park empty for some proper adventures!'

This was agreed by a fellow adventurer, called Monty, who said: 'Thankfully there are so many other beautiful unspoiled mountains in Eryri. Don't tell the sheeple though.'

And a fourth, Ken Breeze, sarcastically added: 'The great outdoors, where you can enjoy nature, escape the crowds and get away from everyone.'

Furious Peak District residents have also blamed tourists for clogging up their national park with cars and litter during the Easter bank holiday weekend.

A video posted on TikTok shows an eye-watering number of vehicles queuing on the narrow roads in the Derbyshire countryside as staycationers tried to head to their Easter getaways.

Lucy Sturgess stumbled upon the scenes at the national park during a cycle between the towns of Matlock and Castleton on Saturday and posted the footage onto social media.

The carnage was one of many examples of traffic hell up and down the country over the four-day weekend, as more than two million Brits hit the road to get to and from their holiday destinations.

Locals took to social media to criticise the traffic gridlock and also blame the holidaymakers for leaving huge piles of rubbish - including crisp packets, beer bottles, lighter fluid bottles and dirty nappies - in the picturesque landscape.

Children were pictured picking up this litter from the National Trust site, leading one neighbour to claim: 'This has all gone too far.'

Lucy's journey was interrupted by a staggering herd of traffic as families in cars rushed to spend their Easter weekend at the national park.

She posted the video onto social media, with on-screen text reads: 'Crazy Peak District traffic today. Cars everywhere.' 

The clip received over 44,700 likes on TikTok and photos of the traffic backlog caused an uproar on local Facebook groups.  

One person commented: 'I am afraid that it has all gone too far. The main aim of the National Park was conservation of countryside and wildlife and
