The lone Tree © Cormac Mac Mahon

Wales' most iconic tree, known as the lone or lonely Tree of Llanberis, has been a symbol of endurance, perched over the pebbles of Llyn Padarn and set against the backdrop of Eryri's mountains. It has provided an impossibly romantic scene for photographers.

 

Isolated on its own tiny island, the birch tree has faced relentless winds and waves and is frequently submerged during winter storms that raise the water levels of Llyn Padarn.
