about

If you ever get the chance, treat yourself to the train trip up to the peak of Snowdon.

We started the walk up a few years ago and abandoned the idea after not very long, but not before getting to the level of the first waterfall which pours out of a fissure in the mountain.

The ride up on the tiny, two-carriage train is charming in the extreme and allows a genuine appreciation of the topography. One of the guides pointed out a flat plateau on the way up where, a millennium into the past, local princes, noblemen and landowners would gather to talk. Lakes are revealed as more height is gained and you can see, once at the Snowdon’s peak, all four countries in the UK (although the day does need to be exceedingly clear to do so).

The atmosphere of the place is almost palpable and the history of the area feels like someone looking over your shoulder. It’s inexplicable – you have to go and see for yourself.

The track is all it needs to be – serene and tranquil with a hint of something beyond the physical.

Hope it soothes your nerves as much as it does ours.
