Blaenau Ffestiniog Halal Travel Guide

Blaenau Ffestiniog is a former slate-mining village and consists of one primary street with all the others leading off it.

A narrow-gauge railway and the Ffestiniog Railway, was built from Blaenau Ffestiniog to take the slate down to the sea at Porthmadog. The railway ceased operation after some 110 years of operation due to the run down of the slate industry, road competition and the Second World War. It was fully reopened to Blaenau Ffestiniog in 1982 and is one of the town's main tourism attractions.

Travel to Blaenau Ffestiniog

How to travel to Blaenau Ffestiniog by car

The best option to get to the town is by vehicle - mostly because there aren't that many buses or trains to get around. The town is on the A470 from Llandudno to Dolgellau and the A487 from Porthmadog.

Travel by Bus to Blaenau Ffestiniog

There aren't that many buses to Blaenau. X1/84 run from Llandudno and Betws-y-Coed, every 1-2 hours on workdays. There are also buses to Porthmadog (1B - roughly every 70 minutes) and Dolgellau.

Travel by train to Blaenau Ffestiniog

The Conwy Valley Line runs from Llandudno to Blaenau, but only has a train every 3 hours or so. The main train station is also the terminus for the narrow-gauge legacy Ffestiniog Railway from Porthmadog. On some summer days it has more frequent departures than the "real" railway.

Get Around in Blaenau Ffestiniog

As the town itself is quite small you can easily get around on foot and the town has recently undergone a face lift to help attract visitors to what was the 'Slate Capital of the World' in its hay day. The Llechwedd Slate Caverns, which celebrate the town's famous history, are a mile's walk from the station on the road to Dolwyddelan over the Crimea Pass - or go by car. As all the primary streets in and out of town are very narrow primary streets with quite fast traffic, so the bicycle isn't a good idea - and for mountain biking other towns in the area are better bases. Blaenau Ffestiniog is celebrated as the only town in North Wales where all roads lead into the Snowdonia National Park. At 850 ft above sea level, it makes the town an ideal base for adventuring the park.
