Snowdon Mountain Railway
Two ways down: ride or walk. There's choice of 6 pathways leading down, for the brave-at-heart, or why not just go down the same way up: train :)
2) Following the opening of the Llanberis pass in 1832, the Miners Path (8 miles/Approx 6 hours there and back) was built to carry copper from the Britannia Copper Works near Llyn Glaslyn to Pen y Pass.
3) There is some uncertainty about the origin of the word Pyg Track (7 mile/Approx 6 hours there and back). It is believed that the path was named after Pen y Gwryd Hostel by climbers who stayed there.
4) Watkin Path (8 miles/Approx 6 hours there and back) named after Sir Edward Watkin, Liberal Member of Parliament and a railway entrepreneur.
5) Rhyd Ddu Path (8.5 miles/Approx 6 hours there and back) use to be known as the Beddgelert Path since it was from this village that walkers started their journey to the summit.
6) The path begins near the ‘Snowdon Ranger’ (8 miles/Approx 6 hours there and back) youth hostel, near Llyn Cwellyn. John Morton the self proclaimed 'Snowdon Ranger' used the path to guide Victorian tourists to the summit. 82060814
