Llyn Llydaw / Snowdon

Taken in Snowdonia, Wales.

Llyn Llydaw (from the Welsh meaning Brittany lake) is a lake in Snowdonia National Park on the flanks of Snowdon, Wales’ highest mountain. This long thin lake has formed in a cwm about one-third of the way up the mountain.

Snowdon (Welsh: Yr Wyddfa), is the highest mountain in Wales and the third most prominent peak in the British Isles. It is Great Britain’s highest mountain south of the Scottish Highlands, and has been described as “probably the busiest mountain in Britain.” It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Welsh: Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri), in Gwynedd. The summit is known as Yr Wyddfa, Welsh for “the tumulus” and lies at an altitude of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level.
