Gwyn Thomas - Hafod Eryri - Yr Wyddfa, Wales. - Etched in Stone on Waymarking.com

Copa'r Wyddfa: yr ydych chwi, yma, Yn nes at y nefoedd translates to The summit of Snowdon: here you are nearer to Heaven. This text cut into the fabric at Hafod Eryri, visitor center, along the exterior stonework on the exterior of the building, located at Snowdon Summit, Snowdonia, Gwynedd, North Wales.

"Snowdonia is, of course, one of three National Parks in Wales; the other two being Brecon Beacons National Park and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
"Eryri" is the Welsh name for Snowdonia and stems from "eagles' lair", since eryr is Welsh word for eagle, a very common bird in these rugged mountains in the past, but no longer present here.
"Hafod" " is Welsh for a "summer place" or "summer residence".
So "Hafod Eryri" is a very apt name for this superb visitor centre near the summit of Wales' highest mountain, Yr Wyddfa [in Welsh] or Snowdon. "Text Source: (visit link)
