Blaenau-Ffestiniog is a beautiful little Welsh mining town that dates back hundreds of years and has forever been known as ‘the town that roofed the world’ with its industrial heritage of slate mining. Within its midst, many of these cottages have been lovingly restored. They are now available as self-catering holiday cottages in Blaenau Ffestiniog for visitors wanting somewhere scenic from which to explore North Wales. A visit to the popular Llechwedd Slate Caverns is a must, as is a ride on the narrow-gauge Ffestiniog Railway down to Porthmadog. Blaenau Ffestiniog is a hive for outdoor activities. It’s an excellent centre for mountain biking. Try the lakeside cycle trail along the Tanygrisiau Lake or the recently opened mountain biking downhill route at Llechwedd.
