With the exception of two World Wars, Snowdon Mountain Railway has run uninterrupted since 1896. It has even been used to help mountain rescue teams working on Snowdon.

Services run throughout the summer from Llanberis Station to the Summit Station, where visitors can walk a short distance to the highest point in Wales and England, 1,085m above sea level.

The railway, which welcomes over 130,000 visitors a year, is part of Heritage Great Britain plc, a group which owns and manages tourist destinations like Land’s End, John O’Groats and The Needles on The Isle of Wight.
