It's well worth climbing to the top - it's a wonderful, unmissable experience. It was my first mountain climb and we missed the crowds by using a local guide - if we'd gone just with a map it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good. They picked out a quiet path and told us about the history, farming etc. Coming... more

A wonderful day in Snowdon was nearly ruined by the shocking snack bar provided at the top. I believe the cost of the "new" facility was £6 million and if true this is a real waste. We got off the train to find the only way out was through an already packed snack bar where people were queuing to place... more

Mount Snowdon stands at 3,560ft and is the highest mountain in Wales. The walk up the popular tourist path is the longest but easiest route to follow taking approximately 5- 6 hours.

The route is about 4.5 miles to the summit and expect to take 2.5 - 3 hours to reach it, via a well marked path which varies... more

Mount Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales at 3560 ft - small by other countries standards but still pretty big. To reach the top you can either walk or take the (expensive) train - we took the easy way and took the train up but decided to walk back down. If you decide to walk be warned... more
