Snowdon is now one of the UK's major tourist attractions whether you are walking up or taking the train.
The adult return train fare is between £29 and £37 so a family of two adults and two kids will shell out £100 for the privlege of 30 minutes on the summit. And before anyone points a finger at the National Park, the railway is owned by a Gibraltar leisure company.
That puts parking charges in perspective. The bottom line is that if you don't want to spend a tenner, walk somewhere else.
