Electric Mountain

First Hydro Company, the owner of the Electric Mountain Visitor Centre, has outlined its plans to refurbish the Centre in Llanberis. The aim of the new building is to deliver an engaging and attractive visitor experience, providing user-friendly resources that will appeal to tourist and education visitors alike. There will also be much-improved facilities for the community to use. Drawing on ENGIE’s regeneration capabilities, the new building will be sustainably designed, energy efficient and in keeping with the local environment and landscape. To facilitate the main demolition and refurbishment works going forward, the Electric Mountain Visitor Centre will be operating from temporary accommodation located in the Car Park effective 1 April 2019 until 30 September 2019.

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.

Tomen y Mur

Reviewed By 923Dan - Swindon, United Kingdom

Staying nearby at Bronaber, we visited the nearby Tomen y Mur walk around the Roman ruins and Saxon Hill Fort. Walking around, you can see why the Romans chose this location for their fortification - stunning views on a defensive raised hillock within the mountain valley, which was later used as a Saxon hill fort. Lots to see and expore, on a short walk from the small free car part (through its not sign posted from the main A470). A good free morning in the fresh air amongst well preserved ruins dating through over a thousand years of history. Boggy underfoot in April - so bring good boots!
