I was a youngster when this place was under construction holidaying in the family caravan nearby. The day's would be interrupted with the dull booms of the heart of the mountain being slowly ripped out to make the caverns for the turbines. It took me over 40 years to go and visit and what a fool I've been. This place is fantastic especially if you have an interest in engineering or a film buff. In the main turbine hall, look to the roof and you see the drainage channel designed by the one and only Carol Voorderman of Countdown fame Step outside into many of the service roads and think about those action movies you have watched like James Bond, Tomb Raider, Harry Potter to mention a few, all fimed here. Five star attraction not to be missed.

Snowdon Honey Farm and Winery

Reviewed By 0jeni0 - Manchester, United Kingdom

I'd seen other positive reviews of this little shop and visited during my recent stay in Llanberis. My partner and I were blown away by this lovely shop and owner. Samples of home made honey, wine and mead are free with the owners passionate and knowledgeable recommendations. The owner spent time getting to know our tastes and was genuinely excited to help us find things we liked. There was no pressure at all to buy. What was originally us just popping by for some local produce turned into a whole tasting experience that we loved. Thank you very much.
