Snowdonia youth hostel 'falling apart at the seams'

A youth hostel in Snowdonia is attempting to raise funds to pay for a £2m renovation.

Bryn Gwynant, on the shores of Llyn Gwynant in Gwynedd, has been operating since 1959.

But it is now in need of a "major redevelopment" according to the Youth Hostel Association.

The mountaineer Sir Chris Bonington is patron of the campaign to raise £500,000 towards the project.
