威尔士斯诺登尼亚国家公园迎来75周年

如果公园也能写生日手记，威尔士斯诺登尼亚国家公园一定有许多精彩故事可讲。今天是这座公园成立75周年，纪念它于1951年获指定为国家公园。斯诺登尼亚占地823平方英里，拥有九条山脉和74英里海岸线，栖息地类型从泥炭地、原生林地到高地景观不一而足。斯诺登山海拔超过3,500英尺，是斯诺登尼亚的最高点。附近的卡内道山脉和格利德赖山脉群峰耸立，卡代尔伊德里斯山则矗立在南部。这些受保护的景观为野生动物提供了栖息地，其中包括17处国家级自然保护区和56处特殊科学价值地点。

斯诺登尼亚的故事并不只有自然风光，多巴达恩城堡还为其增添了中世纪篇章。这座城堡由卢埃林大帝于13世纪建造，曾守卫穿越兰贝里斯山口的通道，后来还被用作关押一位威尔士亲王的监狱。高50英尺的圆塔至今仍是城堡最具辨识度的特色，俯瞰着附近的林帕达恩湖。

Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) in Wales turns 75

If parks could keep birthday diaries, Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) in Wales would have quite the story to tell. The park turns 75 today, marking the anniversary of its designation in 1951. Eryri stretches across 823 square miles, with nine mountain ranges, 74 miles of coastline, and habitats ranging from peatlands and native woodlands to upland landscapes. At more than 3,500 feet, Yr Wyddfa is Eryri's highest point. Nearby, the Carneddau and Glyderau add their own peaks, while Cadair Idris rises in the south. These protected landscapes provide habitats for wildlife and include 17 National Nature Reserves and 56 Sites of Special Scientific Interest.

And Eryri's story isn't just about nature. Dolbadarn Castle adds a medieval chapter. Built during the 13th century by Llywelyn the Great, the castle guarded the route through Llanberis Pass and later served as a prison for a Welsh prince. Its round tower, standing 50 feet tall, remains its most recognizable feature, overlooking nearby Llyn Padarn.
