Snowdon Mountain Railway

This was another opportunity I had to experience a steam train ride, part of my mission when planning this trip.

At the entrance of the Snowdon Mountain. Trains depart from Llanberis station and begin their climb 1085m to the summit of Yr Wyddfa, a journey experienced by some 12 million travellers since 1896. These ancient Snowdonian mountains, thrust upwards by volcanic forces 450 million years ago, once grew to heights of 10,000 metres. 82060805
