Ffestiniog

/ fɛsˈtɪnjɒɡ /

noun

a town in N Wales, in Gwynedd: tourist attractions include former slate quarries and a narrow-gauge railway at nearby Blaenau Ffestiniog. Pop: 4830 (2001)

Penrhyn Deudraeth is a mining village of no interest, except as the starting-point of the Ffestiniog narrow-gauge railway.

Blaenau Ffestiniog is the more central and less beautiful; the old village (3 miles away) is far pleasanter.
