From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Snowdon (Welsh: Yr Wyddfa),
the highest mountain in Wales and the highest British mountain south of the
Scottish Highlands, is "probably the busiest mountain in Britain."It is
located in Snowdonia National Park (Welsh: Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri), in
Gwynedd. The summit is known as Yr Wyddfa and lies at an altitude of 1,085
metres (3,560 ft) above sea level. For comparison, it is the same height as
Table Mountain in South Africa. As the highest peak in Wales, Snowdon is one
of three mountains climbed as part of the National Three Peaks Challenge.
The English name Snowdon comes from the Saxon "Snow Dun," meaning "snow
hill," although the amount of snow on Snowdon in winter has been decreasing
recently, having dropped by more than 55% since 1994.
Snowdon has one of the wettest climates in Great Britain, receiving an
annual average of more than 4,500 millimetres (180 in) of precipitation.
