Snowdon is a mountain in the Snowdonia national park in north Wales.
It is famous because it is the tallest mountain in Wales! And because it is a mountain.
Same reason as anyone climbs any mountain - because it's there and to prove that they can.
Mount Snowdon in Wales is not very high, but it is a mountain. It was used by Hillary to train for the successful 1953 ascent of Mt. Everest.
Snowdon Mountain Railway was created in 1896.

A volcanic mountain.
No. Not by a long shot. Snowdon is only 1085 metres (3,560 feet) above sea level, while Mt. Elbrus in southwestern Russia, in the Caucasus range, is 5642 metres (18,510 feet) above sea level, making it the highest mountain in Europe.Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales. But that isn't saying much, as all of Great Britain, as well as Ireland, is low-lying. Even the Scottish "Highlands" are only high in comparison to the Lowlands. But mountains in the UK are very low compared to the mountains of continental Europe.
