Blaenau Ffestiniog will surprise you with hidden lakes, old mines, waterfalls, castles and wildlife. It definitely retains a wealth of history and folklore. You can explore the surroundings by challenging walks, long or short, over moors, mountains, fields, forests or coastlines. Nice choice accommodation - B&Bs, private houses, inns, small hotels, guest houses, all worth a good look. Ideal place for those who prefers outdoors and nature.

Once the capital of the slate quarrying industry, Blaenau Ffestiniog has been turned into a major tourist attraction. At Llechwedd Slate Caverns you can take the Miner's Tramway into the side of the mountain and into a succession of spectacular chambers where a miner describes the working of the mine. Alternatively, you can ride down the underground cliff railway into the Deep Mine, and experience the audio and visual presentation as a miner from long ago takes you through the chambers.
