| Llechwedd Slate Caverns, located within the town’s outskirts allows visitors to travel on the Miners' Tramway or enjoy a descent into the Deep Mine, via a funicular railway. Once there you can explore the former Llechwedd slate quarry and learn about the history of the town’s slate mining history.
Also to be seen is the Ffestiniog Railway, a narrow-gauge heritage railway, popular with rail enthusiasts. A definite must is a trip to the Snowdonia National Park to enjoy Wales’ famed natural beauty whilst on one of the many walks through the countryside. Blaenau-Ffestiniog is located within easy distance to explore the surrounding towns of Dolwyddeian and Pont-y-Pant, both of which can be accessed via the A470 or by the railway. |
