About

Rachub is a small village ward located within the Gwynedd unitary authority area in North Wales. It sits on the lower slopes of the Glyderau range, positioned above the town of Bethesda and near the Ogwen Valley. The area is characterised by its upland landscape, with residential streets set against a backdrop of open moorland and rocky hillsides. The community is closely connected to the surrounding natural environment and the historical slate quarrying industry that shaped the region.

The ward's layout reflects its hillside setting, with views often extending towards the Carneddau mountains. Local life centres around community institutions like the village hall and the primary school. A notable local feature is the presence of the Rachub Fawr, an early 17th-century house that is a rare surviving example of a Snowdonia gentry hall from that period. The area provides direct walking access onto the higher mountain paths of the Glyderau.
