This ex-mining town made a name for itself through the slate it produced and it has been said that this was 'the town that roofed the world'. Remnants of this past are still evident across the town; from two, still functioning, mines to the Llechwedd Slate Caverns where you can see what life of a quarryman is like. There are plenty of paths allowing you to explore the area by foot, and of course, there are plenty of activities on offer in Snowdonia.
