On a recent trip to Wales we set up camp near a place called Betws y coed about a 20mins drive away from Mount Snowdon. There is a car park in Llanberis where you start the walk from. If you decided that the walk was to hard for you then you can take the train to the summit.
Since the year 1896, visitors from around the world have travelled on the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Trains climb up the highest mountain in Wales which is1085m in height where once you reach the top Snowdon boasts dramatic landscape and scenery. This unique railway is proven to be one of the most popular visitor attractions in North Wales and offers great value. The Summit of Snowdon, at 3,560ft (1085m), is the highest mountain in England and Wales. The Snowdon Mountain Railway offers a fantastic day out for all of the family.
Hafod Eryri, the new building on the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is opening this spring, however, the date is dependent on the weather. The formal opening will be on the 12th June 2009 although the building will be in use before then. Trains are expected to reach the Summit from 2nd May 2009 onwards. The new Snowdon visitor centre is a unique designed structure built of granite with large views from the “window on the world” the wall of glass which makes up the front of the centre.It acts as a terminus for the Snowdon Mountain Railway providing refreshment facilities, toilets and interpretation of the mountain, its history and ways to enjoy it
