More about this scene
Formerly the slate capital of Wales, this slate-grey mountain town is proud of its history and happily promotes its memory. The quarries, which roofed Victorian England from London to Birmingham and back, now offer various tours, and the Ffestiniog narrow-gauge railway carries passengers, rather than slate, to the coast at Porthmadoc. This sunlit view looks across the town towards the great heaps of waste from its slate mines. The railway can be seen on the left.
