Tanygrisiau, meaning "below the steps", referring to the stepped cliffs above this traditional Welsh village. The Moelwyn mountains protect the village from much of the wind from northerly gales in the winter, and give the village a pleasant southerly aspect with relatively mild weather considering its location high in Snowdon. The village stands amongst some dramatic scenery, and Tanygrisiau is a good starting point for many walks, especially if your intention is to climb Moelwyn itself. Tanygrisiau was famous for its slate mining, producing a high quality black slate that was used across the world. Tanygrisiau railway station is on the famous Ffestiniog Railway, a narrow gauge railway built to carry slate from the mines down to the sea at Porthmadog; today it is a renowned tourist attraction providing stunning views on its trip to the coast. Only 1.6 miles away is Blaenau Ffestiniog, once the capital of slate quarrying and in the 18th century known as the "City of Slate". The town stands in an elevated, natural bowl amidst this mountainous region, has a good variety of shops and pubs, but is best known for its tourist attractions. One of the old quarries is now the renowned Llechwedd Slate Cavern. The famous narrow gauge Ffestiniog Railway provides wonderful trips through spectacular countryside. Enjoy superb walks and bike trails at Coed-y-Brenin, one of the best mountain bike centres in Britain, as well as good climbing at the Plas y Brenin National Mountain Centre, wonderful sandy beaches, or great fishing or golf. Visit delightful Betws-y-Coed, the Italianate Village at Portmeirion, or Bala, with its renowned white-water rafting opportunities.

Previous visitors' comments about Penllwyn:
Lovely cottage in a good location. The fact that the railway line runs past the front door is a real novelty and a unique feature of this property. A well presented small cottage ideal for a couple or young family.
Mr Miles, London, December 2011
The cottage was picturesque and had a little steam train that went right past the door a few times a day, each time tootin his horn. We felt like we were in a book! The mountains are out of this world and during our stay we got to the summit of Snowdon. Every corner we turned we didnt know what we were going to find next! It has the beauty of the mountains and the sea all within 10 miles of each other.
Mrs Harker, Chesterfield, September 2011
An excellent cottage which was very nicely decorated and furnished. There were some really nice touches like tea, coffee and milk left in the kitchen. We also appreciated the DVD's in the lounge. The wood burner is great and the initial wood supply thoughtful.
