Fancy a cuppa?
The architecturally stunning Hafod Eryri
As the brand new cafe opens on the summit of Snowdon this weekend those runners who get caught short or are simply taking in a leisurely run to the top of Yr Wyddfa will now have luxurious surroundings of a Hafod Eryri in which to enjoy a quiet moment!
The Independent reports today
The UK’s highest cafe reopened for business today – offering stunning views from the peak of Mount Snowdon. The 3,560ft-high cafe is the centrepiece of an £8 million visitor centre at the top of Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales. The official opening ceremony will be conducted by Rhodri Morgan, the First Minister of Wales, later today. The building, called Hafod Eryri, was designed by architect Ray Hole and offers views from a “window on the world” wall of glass which makes up the front of the centre.
The granite structure is built to withstand the extreme weather conditions for which the mountain is famous.
Workers will need one of these to get there
