Upgrade to Snowdon's Miners' Track

By Martin Nash    13 Jul 2010

The Miners' Track footpath on Snowdon, North Wales, has undergone an upgrade as part of the Snowdonia National Park Authority's (SNPA) 'Snowdonia for All' project.

The scheme aims to encourage disabled people, people with restricted mobility or parents who have young children to visit and enjoy Snowdonia. As part of it, the SNPA wardens service provides an annual programme of events for people of all abilities, from wheelchair users walks to walks for the visually impaired. Hywel Jones, SNPA access project officer said: “The work is part of a general planned programme of repair and maintenance within a much broader programme of improving access in the National Park and will enable more people of all abilities to use the track from Pen y Pass to Llyn Llydaw."

The Miners’ Track to Llyn Glaslyn was originally built during the last century to serve the Britannia Copper Mines. The track to the lake is still almost a road and provides a safe mountain walk for people with little experience of mountains. The path beyond Llyn Llydaw to the summit is much steeper and is not accessible to wheelchair users.
