Glyn Ceiriog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glyn Ceiriog is a village in the Ceiriog Valley to the west of Chirk in north-east Wales. Its traditional full name is "Llansantffraid Glyn Ceiriog", which can be translated to the "Church of Saint Ffraid in the Ceiriog Valley". It was once the home of extensive slate quarries and the Glyn Valley Tramway was built to take the slate to a wharf on the Shropshire Union Canal and later to interchange sidings with the Great Western Railway line from Chester to Shrewsbury.
