Bowydd a'r Rhiw

About

Bowydd a'r Rhiw is a ward within the historic town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. The area is characterised by its steep terraced streets built into the mountainside, a legacy of the slate industry that once dominated the local economy. The urban landscape is densely packed, with stone buildings following the contours of the land. Remnants of the industrial past, including quarry tips and abandoned structures, are woven into the fabric of the community.

The ward overlooks the deep valley containing the town's centre. Local life revolves around the remaining small businesses, community centres, and the extensive network of footpaths leading into the surrounding Moelwyn mountain range. The famous Ffestiniog Railway passes through the lower part of the area, connecting it to the wider Snowdonia National Park.
