Visit Blaenau Ffestiniog
Come and visit Blaenau Ffestiniog. http://www.blaenauffestiniog.org/
Blaenau Ffestiniog has for as long as anyone can remember been known as "the town that roofed the world".

From a cluster of farms a bustling town grew, and a number of quarries were opened; one of them, Llechwedd is one of Wales' top visitor attractions, where you can visit to experience life as a Victorian miner, you may also travel like the Victorians on the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway to Porthmadog. The area boasts a range of attractions for everyone including the Zipworld attractions and Mountain biking at Anturstiniog.

Blaenau Ffestiniog is a historic mining town in Wales. It is in the historic county of Merionethshire, although currently administered as part of the unitary authority of Gwynedd. Blaenau Ffestiniog at one time was the second largest town in North Wales, behind Wrexham. Today, the town relies heavily on tourists, who come to see the many attractions within and around the town such as the Ffestiniog Railway and the Llechwedd Slate Caverns.
The revived Ffestiniog Railway and the Zip World Slate Caverns are popular tourist attractions, as is the Antur Stiniog downhill mountain biking centre. Recent attractions include the Zip World Titan zip-line site, which also now features the Bounce Below slate mine activity centre. Located in the mountains of Snowdonia, the town's slate industry declined during the early 20th century. The town's economy is now largely dependent on tourism. Although the town is in the centre of the Snowdonia National Park, the boundaries of the Park exclude the town and its substantial slate waste heaps.
Blaenau Ffestiniog is in the traditional county of Merionethshire. It is made up of a number of distinct areas, several of which take their names from settlements that predate the town, including Rhiwbryfdir, Glanypwll and Cwmbowydd. Other local villages, notably Tanygrisiau and Manod, are sometimes considered part of Blaenau Ffestiniog. The mountains around Blaenau Ffestiniog form the watershed between the River Lledr flowing to the north (a tributary of the River Conwy) and the River Dwyryd flowing to the west.
Blaenau Ffestiniog is known as the town with one of the highest rainfall in Wales. The town has several reservoirs, one of which supplies the Ffestiniog Hydro Power Station with water. Stwlan Dam can be seen in between two of the main mountains in the area, Moelwyn Bach and Moelwyn Mawr.
The main access route to Blaenau Ffestiniog is via the A470 road which runs north to Llandudno and south to Dolgellau and beyond. The A496 runs south from the town down to the coastal resort of Barmouth, and connects with the A487 towards Porthmadog and the Llŷn Peninsula. Immediately to the north of the town the A470 climbs steeply to the Crimea Pass and meets the A5 at Betws-y-Coed, towards Wrexham and Shrewsbury.
Bus services in the town are mainly provided by Express Motors with routes available to Porthmadog, Dolgellau and to Llandudno via Betws-y-Coed and Llanrwst. Town circular services via Tanygrisiau are operated hourly on weekdays by John's Coaches.
Blaenau Ffestiniog railway station, on the site of the former Great Western station, is used by the Ffestiniog Railway and the Conwy Valley Line, their previous stations being no longer in use. The Conwy Valley Line runs to the North Wales coast at Llandudno Junction with links to Chester, Holyhead, Manchester and the rest of the UK. The station sees thousands of visitors each year.
Blaenau Ffestiniog has several major tourist attractions, including the Ffestiniog Railway and the Llechwedd Slate Caverns, a former slate mine open to visitors. Llechwedd is often listed as one of Wales' top 5 visitor attractions. Near Blaenau Ffestiniog there are miles of mountain landscape with derelict quarries, rivers, various lakes and walking routes.
( Blaenau Ffestiniog - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Blaenau Ffestiniog . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Blaenau Ffestiniog - UK

Join Anna and Alf in this video as they visit LLECHWEDD SLATE QUARRY in BLAENAU FFESTINIOG in NORTH WALES UK which is known as THE TOWN THAT ROOFED THE WORLD and which is now home to the famous tourist attraction LLECHWEDD SLATE CAVERNS and is part of THE UNESCO SLATE LANDSCAPE OF NORTHWEST WALES.
Here are links to two other videos we have on our channel of THE UNESCO SLATE LANDSCAPE OF NORTHWEST WALES if you are interested - DINORWIG QUARRY AND ABANDONED VILLAGE https://youtu.be/xsnJNs-s-bM
and - RHIWBACH SLATE QUARRY AND LOST VILLAGE ( mentioned in this video ) and
https://youtu.be/k2ZnkMQXIUs
In this video Anna and Alf walk around the slate mountains of this famous town while Anna teaches some history of the place that shaped the look and feel of the world as we know it and shares about the way of life which defined generations of families here in North Wales and how WELSH SLATE has been coveted since ROMAN TIMES and used by THE ROMANS in their FORTS NEARBY .
The story of slate began 500 MILLION YEARS AGO with deposits of mud and clay on an ancient seabed but it wasn't until the rise of the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION that demand for it really exploded and at its peak, the SLATE INDUSTRY IN WALES employed an army of 17,000 men and WELSH SLATE was exported AROUND THE WORLD throughout the 19TH CENTURY and the slate, the best of which is considered a dark variety dating from THE ORDOVICIAN PERIOD around 480 MILLION YEARS AGO, was prized for its durability and is found in the roofing of LONDON'S WESTMINSTER HALL, THE ROYAL MINT and BUILDINGS IN COUNTRIES AS FAR AS AUSTRALIA .
Learn how after the slate industry declined here in LLECHWEDD QUARRY it became a major tourist attraction in the form of LLECHWEDD SLATE CAVERNS .
Anna as always, also teaches some Welsh pronunciation and Welsh words in this video.
VIDEO UPLOADS FOR THE TIME BEING WILL MOST LIKELY BE ON A THURSDAY NIGHT AFTER 5PM UK TIME 🙂🏴
