SNOWDON MOUNTAIN, a mountain of Wales, in the 
county of Caernarvon, the highest mountain of Wales, and 
the most remarkable for the extent of the great ridge of hills 
with which it is connected and forms the summit. These 
mountains, which take the general name of Snowdon, are 
situated to the south-east of the county, and extend to the 
confines of Merionethshire. They are called by the Welsh 
the mountains of Eryri, and according to an ancient proverb 
mentioned by Giraldus, were considered to be so extensive 
and productive, as to be capable of yielding sufficient pasture 
for all the herds in Wales, if collected together. Camden 
remarks of these mountains, that “ they may be properly 
termed the British Alps; for besides their great height, they 
are also no less inaccessible, by reason of the steepness of 
their rocks, than the Alps themselves; and they all encom¬ 
pass one hill, which, far exceeding the rest in height, does so 
tower its head aloft, that it seems, I shall not say to threat- 
on the sky, but to thrust its summit into it. It harbours snow 
continually, being throughout the year covered with it, or ra¬ 
ther with a hardened crust of snow ; and hence the British 
name of Craig Eryri, and the English one of Snowdon.” 
The highest peak of Snowdon is elevated, according to the 
Trigonometrical Survey of England, 3571 feet above the 
level of the sea. But this is still nearly 2000 feet below the 
line of perpetual snow in that latitude; so that Camden is 
mistaken when he says that snow lies here all the year. The 
snow, however, begins to fall in November, and is seldom 
melted till the middle of June. Snowdon, though the 
highest mountain in Wales, is far from being the most pictu¬ 
resque in its form. Cader Iris, Molwyn, and Arran, in 
North Wales, and Cader Arthur, near Brecknock, present a 
much bolder outline. The usual mode of ascent to Snowdon
