Snowdonia café to shut over bank holiday as council introduces 'frustrating' parking clamp down

A café in Snowdonia National Park has announced that they are temporarily shutting their doors over the upcoming bank holiday weekend due to the fact that the council has introduced parking restrictions in the area. The valley of Nant Gwynant, which is only a stone's throw away from Yr Wyddfa, attracts thousands of visitors every summer.

Over the last few years, parking in various beauty spots in the national park during weekends and peak seasons has caused chaos, which at times has led to congestion and blocked roads. As a result, for August's bank holiday weekend Gwynedd Council has implemented cones in Nant Gwynant.

Although the council has said they have received complaints about the parking issues in the area, Caffi Gwynant has said that the council's decision is "frustrating". They decided to shut their doors for the bank holiday due to concerns that they will be unable to take bookings if there is no parking for customers.
