Dinas Mawddwy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dinas Mawddwy is a village in North Wales just to the side of the A470 so that most visitors pass the village by. The village marks the junction of the unclassified road to Llanuwchllyn which cimbs up through the mountains to cross Bwlch y Groes at its highest point, the highest road pass in Wales. This minor road also provides the closest access to the mountain Aran Fawddwy

The village was served by the standard gauge Mawddwy Railway which connected with the Cambrian Railways at Cemmaes Road Station. This was built to serve the slate quarries at Minllyn and Aberangell.
