Snowdon Mountain Railway – Hafod Eryri
After a decade of planning and construction Hafod Eryri, the new building on the Summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) opened in June 2009.
The new visitor centre is a uniquely 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.
Because of this new and much improved facility, the level of tourism to both the facility and the region has seen great improvement during the 2009 season and signs are that this will continue into the 2010 season.
