North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways - South Snowdon

South Snowdon

There are two locations which have been called South Snowdon. One is Rhyd Ddu and the other is the South Snowdon Quarry in the Nant Gwynant Pass and this was the original intended destination of the Portmadoc Beddgelert and South Snowdon Railway. That company later applied for and received a light railway order to build from Beddgelert to Rhyd Ddu and commenced construction on that section.

Famous quotes containing the word south:

    “Returned this day, the south wind searches,
    And finds young pines and budding birches;
    But finds not the budding man.”
