Snowdon

General Information about Snowdon

Snowdon which is set within the Snowdonia National Park, in the area of Gwynedd is famous for being the highest mountain in Wales. Rising to a height of 3,560 feet Snowdon attracts many visitors each year and is particularly well known as being one of Britain's busiest mountains.

During the winter months the peaks of Snowdon are usually covered in snow, however due to climate changes the snow levels on the mountain have decreased over the years. The views from the Snowdon's summit are well worth the journey with a number of footpaths that lead to the summit.

Rock-climbing on Snowdon is not for the faint hearted with a number of steep cliffs with six steep rocky ridges. From Snowdon's peak you will be able to see numerous lakes and countries such as England, Ireland, Isle of Man and Scotland. The Snowdon Mountain Railway has been operating since 1896 is the most popular way of reaching Snowdon's highest peak.
