Snowdonia turns 70

These windswept uplands and jagged peaks surround the small village of Capel Curig in the heart of Snowdonia National Park. Renowned for its rugged, mountainous landscape, Snowdonia is the largest national park in Wales and home to over 26,000 people. About 60% of the park’s population speak Welsh, one of Europe’s oldest languages, and today they will be wishing this spectacular setting a ‘pen-blwydd hapus’ (happy birthday) as Snowdonia celebrates its 70th anniversary.
