Coastal Musings

The new building on the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is opening soon.  The formal opening will be on the 12th June.

Trains are expected to reach the Summit by Mid June.  

The new visitor centre is a unique designed structure built of granite with large views from the “window on the world” wall of glass which makes up the front of the centre.  It acts as a terminus for the Snowdon Mountain Railway providing refreshment facilities, toilets and interpretation of the mountain, its history and ways to enjoy it.  Much of the interpretation is built into the structure.

Lines of poetry from the former National Poet of Wales, Gwyn Thomas, are also built into the building which will at last provide a suitable structure as the highest building in Wales and England.
