UK's highest cafe opens at Snowdon peak

The highest cafe in the UK has opened at the top of Mount Snowdon - but 3,500ft up it's a long way to go for your daily mocha.

Based in the new £8.4 million Hafod Eryri visitor centre the cafe is quite literally head and shoulders above the average Starbucks and Costa Coffee.

It has taken over three years for construction workers to finish the granite and glass summit building and cafe, designed by architect Ray Hole.

They faced 150mph winds, violent hale storms and worked in temperatures which frequently dropped to minus 20 degrees centigrade.

Luckily the cafe will not have to rely on hardened trekkers for custom - there is also a steam train which runs to the summit.
