A View Across Llyn Llydaw and Britannia Copper Mines Towards the Summit of Mount Snowdon, Snowdonia National Park, Gwynedd, North Wales (Cymru)

            The Miners’ Track is one of two paths beginning at Pen-y-Pass. The track will take you along the shores of Llyn Teyrn, Llyn Llydaw and Glaslyn before ascending steeply to meet the Llanberis Path to the summit. The Miners’ Track was initially built to serve the Britannia Copper Mine. Remains of the mine can be seen along the route.

Of the buildings that stand today the most obvious is the crushing mill beside Llyn Llydaw - a manager's house originally stood beside it. Originally a men, horses and carts used to cross Llyn Llydaw by raft, but in the mid 1800s the level of lake was lowered to build a causeway across the lake.

After parking up at the Pen-y-Pass car park (which gets very busy, very early) we started to make our way up the Miner's Track. As I was still recovering from cancer we never tried to get to the summit, but travelled as far as Llyn Llydaw in which my son and the dog had a lovely swim.

This image from the banks of Llyn Llydaw shows a view towards Mount Snowdon looking past the crushing mill ruins of the copper mine.
