Llanberis

Llanberis lies along the southern shore of Llyn Padarn, beneath the crags of Eryri (Snowdonia) and close to Yr Wyddfa, Wales’s highest mountain. Long associated with the slate industry, the village sits beside the vast former Dinorwig Quarry, part of the UNESCO-listed Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales. The 13th-century Dolbadarn Castle, built by Llywelyn the Great, stands above Llyn Padarn as a reminder of medieval Gwynedd. Llanberis is also the starting point for the Snowdon Mountain Railway and the Llanberis Path, two established routes towards Yr Wyddfa.
