Mount Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa in Welsh, meaning ‘the tumulus’) dominates the landscape
of north Wales; soaring to 3,560 feet (1,085 metres), it is the highest mountain in Wales
or England. The Snowdon range consists of 11 peaks, three of which surpass 3,000 feet,
and Llyn Llydaw, a long, narrow lake that lies to the side of Mount Snowdon. A number of
high-profile feature films have used some of the breathtaking locations within
Snowdonia National Park, including
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
and its sequel, and
Clash of
the Titans
. More recently, the Guy Ritchie-directed
Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur
also filmed key scenes in Snowdonia.
