A New Picnic Area For 2015



A New Picnic Area For 2015


This site under the trees is being transformed into a new picnic area for our visitors. It is behind the railway and  offers a shady spot among the ancient oak trees and holly bushes. The space was originally cleared and made level as far back as 1832 when the then Princess Victoria visited Llanberis. Ninety seven holes were made in the rock forming three ‘cannons’ -  something resembling a large gun salute – to be fired in her honour as she arrived. We still have plans for the layout of this in our archives collection.
