Mount Snowdon breaks a record
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2009
- 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!

Remember me....
1:43 man was gooing somewhere but he saw the camera and like in his mind (Omg I Can Be A Superstar right now or mabye not nah i aint gooing to risk)and the he just walks back
Apparently next year they are building a McDonalds and a Costa up there ?
@enginetorque would you agree tho its better than the concrete eyesore that was there previously ?
me and my daddy are climbing mount snowdon soon should we take the train up? or walk up? x
cant wait (lol) x
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
@misslucyalexander Walk walk walk definately walk, its so much more rewarding, walk walk 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.
Very scandinavianesque
They forgot to mention ladas
looked sound to me la, and the oggy was fab. oh and i walk up before any train hatin plebs say anythin.
These people cannot be labled as climbed the summit. The real routes are approaching it from the south or crib goch.
rude staff, unhelpful and very unwelcoming, will never go again!
The old restaurant was better...didn't it have a drinks bar ? Or one of those coin bending dodars !...long time ago now..
Disgusting. How to ruin a beautiful national park. all in the name of money.
it's an improvement on what was before
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.
It needs knocking down so it's just wild
