Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales and the highest British mountain south of the Scottish Highlands. It is located within the Snowdonia National Park (in Welsh: Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri), and its summit is known as Yr Wyddfa, at an altitude of 1,085 m (3,560 ft) above sea level. The English name Snowdon comes from the Saxon "Snow Dun", meaning "snow hill".
Snowdon is notable for having one of the wettest climates in Great Britain, receiving an annual average of more than 4,500 mm (180 in) of precipitation.
