Come up Snowdon and see a little 'day in the life' of a mountain, rack railway. Since 1896 trains have been pushing carriages to the top of England and Wales' highest mountain.

This is a beautiful song, who is the performer? Snowdon Mountain Raiwlay, I just added another item to my bucket list. What is the best time of year to visit Wales? Thank you.

[Johnfwake]

The song is 'I CAN'T FORGET MY WALES' by Lorraine King from a CD, 'Songs from the Celtic Land of Wales'. It is best to visit Wales just outside the school holiday times which are mid July to very early September. I would say late June or early July. JFW

That last bit doesn't look like the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Everything is different, the engines, the rolling stock, and the track.

[Johnfwake]

Correct. The last few shots were of the adjacent, Llanberis Lake Railway. It runs through from a little station near the terminus of the SMR then across past the Slate Museum to run alongside the Llanberis Lake. JFW.

@quintabear, i live in north wales, not much goes on but so peaceful, snowdon gets quite foggy, so bring your nice weather, it is good in bangor aswel, evreything is much cheaper in bangor. Hope thus will encaurage you to

Come.

[quintabear]

We visited Wales in June2010 and I was thanked for bringing the good weather, not one day of rain in mid june. Unfortunately my visit was just in the south to connect with family but on my next visit I'll go north to snowdon and anglesy and there abouts.

If anyone is in my area then I'd recommmend the Mount Washington Cog Railroad, on the tallest mountain in north eastern Norh America. Last time that I hiked on mount Washington we took the train down and it was well worthh the ride!

This is a 'MUST' when you visit Wales.

If you listen to "raise me up" it really suits this magnificent railway. but this song also suits it

I would like to take that train one day! Looks like a good trip. My Welsh friends have been kind to me.
