[edit] Geography
The Moelwyns protect the village from much of the wind from northerly gales in the winter and give the village a pleasant southerly aspect with relatively mild weather considering its location high in Snowdonia. However rainfall in the upper end of the Ffestiniog valley can be very high all year around.
[edit] Industrial Past and Present
Llyn Ystradau, looking down towards the dam.Tanygrisiau, or more properly 'Tan y grisiau', is Welsh for "below the steps", referring to steps, which have long since disappeared, leading up to the original slate mine above the village. Tanygrisiau was famous for its slate mining, producing a high quality black slate that was used across the world.
Tanygrisiau railway station is on the famous Ffestiniog Railway, a narrow gauge railway built to carry slate from the mines down to the sea at Porthmadog where it was shipped all around the world, mostly for use in roofing.
