Blaenau Ffestiniog, once a major centre of the slate mining industry, is set in an elevated natural bowl between the Manod and Moelwyn Mountains of Snowdonia. The entire landscape is dominated by slate, the slate waste tips and remnants of the slate industry that shaped the area. The village is the starting point for many walks up into the Moelwyns. There are stunning views over the Vale of Ffestiniog, harsh slate landscapes, rivers and bridges to be found.
Another excellent guide from Marian Jones, with additional images by Carl Jones and Meirion Mathias.
