Snowdonia
About Snowdonia
Snowdonia, or Eryri, is a mountainous region and national park in North Wales. It contains all 15 mountains in Wales over 3000 feet high, including the country's highest, Snowdon, which is 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) tall. These peaks are all part of the Snowdon, Glyderau, and Carneddau ranges in the north of the region. The lower Moelwynion and Moel Hebog ranges lie immediately to the south.

Do you know the Snowdon Mountain Railway? It's the highest mountain in Wales, and it has a train going up it, which is kind of famous because it's a way you can cheat to get to the top. It was built in the 1890s and its very first trip, all the trains on it crashed and had to close immediately for a year.

Other times Snowdonia came up
This is where, because I went on holiday, the Ugly House. I was in Wales last week, so saw it and found out about this thing in an old book. Yeah, there is this house in Snowdonia called the Ugly House, which is actually really attractive now in a sort of tumble downy sort of way. It looks like something out of Hansel and Gretel or something.

I was in Wales last week. Saw it and found out about this thing in an old book. Yeah, there is this house in Snowdonia called The Ugly House, which is actually really attractive now in a sort of tumble-downy sort of way, but it looks like something out of Hansel and Gretel or something. I think that was made by two brothers in the 15th century.

I know, you figured they could do some of that. This is what it says. It says the hill, controversial, mounted in massive quotes. The hill in Snowdonia, North Wales, needs at least a 15-metre height difference between the summit and its pass, which connects it to the next higher hill. Recent tests have shown that it misses these criterias by millimetres measured in at 14.77 metres. It needs to be 15 and it's at 14.7 metres.
