In 2026, our 130th anniversary year, we’re proud to keep sharing breathtaking views, rich history and summit memories with every generation. Take a once in a lifetime adventure on the Snowdon Mountain Railway which has been described as one of the most scenic railway journeys in the world. Trains depart from Llanberis Station and begin their climb to the summit of Snowdon, Yr Wyddfa, a journey exp

erienced by millions of travellers since 1896. With stunning scenery and awe-inspiring views it’s all part of a great day out for you and your family in North Wales. Two services are available, the Heritage Steam Experience and the Traditional Diesel Service. Pre-booking is highly recommended as we do sell out during school holidays and spells of fine weather. Snowdon Mountain Railway is a seasonal attraction open mid-March to the end of October (weather permitting).

I am still sore this morning from filming the latest video up Snowdon, Yr Wyddfa, yesterday, but it was worth it to see some of the wonderful species that call this mountain home.

Most people just walk up the paths to the summit, never looking at what is around them (which is fair, it is a long slog to the top!), but there are amazing alpine flowers growing around and can be a challenge to capture them at their best.

As usual video in the comment section, I hope you enjoy watching it.

Have a wonderful wildlife filled week.
