  • Hafod Eryri, the new visitor centre and café on the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is opening this summer - costing £8.5 million . The new visitor centre is architecturally unique with lines of poetry from former national poet Gwyn Thomas built into the walls. Named a window to the world, a glass frontage provides panoramic views over the Snowdonia. The venue also acts as a terminal building for the Snowdon Mountain Railway, with a learning centre and refreshment café.
    However, thats not all thats happening in Snowdonia. This summer the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways will be joined together, making it possible to travel 40 miles across the breadth of Snowdonia without a car for the first time. Built entirely by volunteers, the new railway will feature carriages for bicycles so that mountain bikers can explore the area with ease, and a new viewing carriage with panoramic windows to maximise the views for visitors. The whole length will be open to the public in July 2009.

    Nice news report. We were on holiday and got the train up to the summit on the first day too - certainly easier then my last visit when I walked the Watkin path!

      Well it's been 12years since you left this post, I hope you had a good time. I would go on the train because you miss the views if you walk

    zorb are some kind of super hero? i walk up via pyg every fortnight and to me its a great experience of mountain walking. cribs a great adventure too but its very risky, you know how many people are killed here so dont play gung ho just because you have done it, its cockiness and and over confidence like that, that gets people killed in the first place.

    These people cannot be labled as climbed the summit. The real routes are approaching it from the south or crib goch.

      affintlewoodlewix do you hate the railway or the cafe, because I think the railway kind of adds a bit of rural-ness to it, like the old branch lines.
