Llanberis Lake Railway - Llyn Padarn, Llanberis, autor ell brown

Having earlier travelled on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanberis_Lake_Railway" rel="nofollow">Llanberis Lake Railway</a> on that stretch, I was now on the south bank of the lake <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llyn_Padarn" rel="nofollow">Llyn Padarn</a> when I saw the train heading back in the direction of Gilfach Ddu. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llyn_Padarn" rel="nofollow">Llyn Padarn</a> <b>Llyn Padarn</b> is a glacially formed lake in Snowdonia, Gwynedd, north Wales, and is an example of a moraine dammed lake. The lake is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) long (about 240 acres) and at its deepest point is 94 feet (29 m) deep, and is one of the largest natural lakes in Wales. At its south-eastern end it is linked to the neighbouring Llyn Peris (which forms the lower reservoir of the Dinorwig power station). The busy village of Llanberis lies on the southern banks of the lake. The majority of Llyn Padarn is owned by Gwynedd Council and is part of Padarn Country Park. Whilst kayaking, rowing and sailing are permitted on the lake, powered craft require permission to use it. Bangor University Rowing Club row at Llyn Padarn. In April 2014 Llyn Padarn was designated as Bathing Water under the Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC). The outflow of Llyn Padarn is on the northern shore and is called Afon Rhythallt, which passes by the village of Brynrefail, Gwynedd and becomes Afon Seiont below Pont Rhythallt, near Llanrug. It reaches the sea at Caernarfon. Padarn Country Park is located on the northern flank of the lake, including Coed Allt Wen, a rare and ancient sessile oak woodland. Both the woodland and Llyn Padarn are designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The Llanberis Lake Railway also runs along its eastern bank and various recreational activities take place on the lake, especially during the summer. These include canoeing, boating and fishing. The lake was the venue for the rowing events of the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. Former local bus company Padarn Bus, which operated between 1979 and 2014 from a base at nearby Llanberis, was named after the lake. The <b>Llanberis Lake Railway</b> (Welsh: Rheilffordd Llyn Padarn) is a 1 ft 11 1⁄2 in (597 mm) narrow gauge heritage railway that runs for 2.5 miles (4 km) along the northern shore of Llyn Padarn in north Wales in the Snowdonia National Park. The starting point is the town of Llanberis at the eastern end of the lake (53.1175°N 4.1193°W), with the western terminus at Pen Llyn in the Padarn Country Park (53.1370°N 4.1495°W). The return journey takes around 60 minutes. Elidir is train No. 1. Built by Hunslet. The type is 0-4-0 ST. Works number is 493. Built in 1889. Built for the Dinorwic quarry; originally named Enid then later renamed Red Damsel. I had earlier seen people in boats from the train, now I could see them from the opposite bank of the lake!
