To celebrate my marriage anniversary, we had a trip to Snowdonia, the second largest national park in the UK.

为了庆祝和媳妇 @leir 的结婚结婚纪念日,全家去威尔士Snowdonia国家公园度假,下面和大家分享这次游记。

As suggested by our Hotel host Paul, we set off from Llandudno via Betws-y-Coed.

根据酒店房东Paul的建议,临时改变了路线,改由途经风景非常好的Betws-y-Coed绕道去Snowdon。Betws-y-Coed贝兹考德位于雪敦山国家公园东侧,是重要登山口和旅游胜地。

Betws-y-Coed

We had a short break in Swallow Fall - have no idea why it is called Swallow Fall. Here is the explanation from WIKI:“It is thought that the English name arose from a mis-hearing of the Welsh word ewynnol (foaming) as the similar-sounding y wennol (swallow).”

这是途经的燕子瀑布(Swallow Fall)。不是很明白为什么叫做燕子瀑布。于是查了一下WIKI,才知到原来是以讹传讹啊,原来威尔士语中的ewynnol (对应英语中的foaming) 被误听做了wennol (也就是swallow,燕子),因此才被叫做燕子瀑布。这个瀑布在周边算是最大的了。可以和世界范围内那些有名瀑布一比的话,这个可能就太小儿科了。

Upon arrival, we visited National Slate Museum。

到达后我们首先参观了著名的板岩博物馆。

The slate industry has been very important in Wales history.
板岩工业在威尔士的历史中非常重要。板岩可以说是威尔士这里的一个特色,它塑造了威尔士这里独特的地貌,也造就了这里独特的历史。

Slate

墙的围栏是板岩做的:

In Slate Museum, you can see the works’ hard life in early years.
在威尔士板岩博物馆中,可以体验早期工匠们和他们家庭的艰辛生活。博物馆内的很多机器仍旧保留着其原始状态。

A playground is situated within the museum.
博物馆内还有孩子们的小游乐场

Lots of names are on the wall of Museum
博物馆外墙上刻着很多人的名字,无语。。。

Right, after visiting Slate Museum, it’s time for the mountain train! According to railways’s website, it has been 1.2 million people has ridden the mountain train.
由于家中有两个小孩,还有个“没长腿”的小公主,自己登山不太现实,登顶的火车自然是唯一选择。票价真心贵!一家人将近100英镑!如果订那个蒸汽火车的话会更贵。据说从1896年开始,共有1200万人成做过这里的小火车。小火车往返共两个小时,在峰顶停留半个小时的时间。

火车站等待上车的人:

The train track is very special
可以看到小火车的轨道也是非常特殊,中间有带锯齿的轨道,想来是给小火车借力登上的吧。

Beautiful views:
乘坐小火车沿途美景:

Hikers around
从火车中会不时看到很多上山下山的人:

It is very foggy since halfway of the journey.
火车单程近一小时的车程过半后,我们发现山顶云雾缭绕,当时心就凉了!果然,火车快登顶的时候,已经是在云雾中行驶了!儿子说我们在天上了!到达海拔一千多米的山顶后,能见度极低,风极大,气温极低,别说欣赏美景了,简直就是上了“诛仙台”。

Text in the summit:
山顶上的文字:

Here you are nearer to heaven
这里离天堂更近了:

Mountain bikes in the summit
在1000多米的山顶上还有骑行者的自行车,不得不说,自行车运动的确是英国人的真爱。。。

People in summit
俩娃刚下火车不适应这样严酷的天气,情绪都不太好。过了一会儿竟然兴高采烈地爬楼梯登上了雪敦山的最高点(雪敦山是英格兰和威尔士最高山)。

I put a photo from Daily Mail as we cannot didn’t have a clean view:
很遗憾我们没法看清远处,这里是网上的一个图片

Back to the ground, we went to Lawton’s Cafe Grill, which is the top 1 restaurant by reviewers in Tripadvisor. I have to say, the restaurant definitely deserves that ranking!
事先订了一家在TripAdvisor上评价非常高的餐厅。吃过后不得不说,他家菜的味道和餐厅的服务我都给满分。这家小餐厅长期位于TripAdvisor排名第一果然是有道理的。

We order a chicken liver paste as starter, super nice!
点了一道Starter,是鸡肝酱配面包,超级好吃

My wife ordered lamb shank as the main course
老婆点的这里的著名盐沼羊腿,肉炖的非常软,也非常入味。孩子们都能咬动。

I ordered the steak burger, which is the best burger I had in my life!
我点的的加量的Steak Burger,可以说这是我吃过最美味的牛肉Burger。里面的肉质鲜嫩多汁,配有的洋葱和其他调味品更加重了肉的鲜味,而且不像有的Burger里面的肉都有点糊了,如果满分十分,我给十一分,额外的一分是因为它的好吃程度超过了我的预期。。。

My children had fish & chips and spaghetti bolognese
孩子们要的是Fish & Chips和意大利面,女儿没吃完的意大利面我也尝了尝,感觉味道非常独特,配套酱汁香味浓郁,面也非常软,同样也是完胜以前吃过的所有意面。难怪小女儿几乎全都吃完。

Snowdon larger is a must try here
到了这里自然要尝一尝当地啤酒:Snowdon larger。这个啤酒感觉就没有太多特色了,味道不错,略苦。但到了这里,自然要喝本地啤酒了。

Also nice desserts
餐后甜点

It’s a bit shame that we didn’t have a clear view from Snowdon summit, apart from that, it’s a perfect trip and we definitely will come back!
整个行程虽然因为山顶有雾不能看清远处景色,有些小遗憾。但整体感觉非常棒,下次一定再来!

真可惜天氣不好。我英國有位朋友住在附近所以常常去,他說上了七,八次也只有兩,三次好天。

凡事经常如此,缺憾有时也是一种美

这个威尔士的地方看起来不错啊哥

我刚来到中国的时候我第一个室友就是一个威尔士的男的 他在威尔士出生然后9岁他家班到伦敦了 所以他的口音就乱七八糟到我都听不懂的样子 可真是 一个美国人听不懂50%一个英国人讲的话 虽然都是英语 哈

是的,兄弟。绝对值得去看看,这次感觉时间有点紧,下次去至少一周。

Very nice..I used to live in bangor as a child and visted there quite alot. I even used to live on the side of a mountain for the weekend. So beautiful. how a few pictures can bring back a flood of memories. So much to do and see and even now i make a trip every once in a while as i have family still in that part of wales. Great post really enjoyed this one. seems like you had a great trip.

thanks,how lucky you are to live in such a beautiful place!

Looks good

I just followed you @aafeng so I can read and see more photos of Wales. I'm from Manchester but live in Vietnam. There is not much that I miss about Britain but the scenery on offer in all countries is one thing. I was a songwriter years ago and wrote a love song that sums up my feelings in one verse. If you will indulge me:
I've climbed up Scottish mountains, drank deep from crystal fountains
Strolled around Welsh countryside and marvelled at the view
The mournful hills of Ireland, the villages of my land
Their beauty fades to nothing when I turn my eyes to you
Thanks for posting.

Thanks. I've followed you as well.

I love Snowdonia and have been many times as only a 3-hour drive for me. Great photos and thanks for sharing :)

Great to see you have visited Snowdonia! I live in the area. So pleasing to see people enjoy the area!

Please do come back.

XieXie - zài jiàn

Next time your in Wales Visit Panda Garden Restaurent in Ruthin = D

Thanks, I will definitely visit Wales again.
