Miner’s Track - Start Point — Attraction in Great Britain

Simply Otherworld, this is. There's no place like Yr Wyddfa (Mt Snowdon) and the range of surrounding peaks. I expected Y Tylwyth Teg (the Fae) to emerge around any corner, and I wasn't disappointed to find what, from a distance, looks like a door to Otherworld (see photos). The Miner's Track provides ample parking (though it's best to reserve ahead of time), as well as a pub that supports the attached Youth Hostel. The trail is winding but of manageable grade for this 60-year-old. That said, I was too out-of-shape to scale Yr Wyddfa Herself, but the amazing views, the clear air, the fairytale lakes, and the old miners' ruins more than made up for my lack of fitness and adventure. Plus, pilgrim hikers along the way are cheery and helpful. I'll let the photos speak for themselves as to what meets you in the magikal realm...

I understand that an experienced hiker will have no problem with a trail like this and will find it easy. In the course of climbing, I got used to it as well. Always check the forecast and buy...

Winter time is hard to see the wonderful views because of the fog. However it does set a wonderful mood for photos. Going up the miners route to join the PYG truck is incredibly challenging in bad weather conditions I’d highly recommend for anyone who is doing it for the first time to make sure they download a route or anything that can truck puffs like off-line GPS or something. And make sure you’re well equipped because the weather can change at any moment but always double check the weather before you go other than that it is absolutely phenomenal. This route has the most fantastic views. I will totally...
