| | Blaenau Ffestiniog: Touring Wales on Britannia |
 | | On the A470 from Betws y Coed to Blaenau Festiniog, look for the remains of Dolwyddelan (Doll With Ellen) Castle, a square isolated keep, said to be the birthplace of Llywelyn the Great, but more likely one of his strongholds guarding a vital artery into the fastness of Snowdonia. |
 | | Also at Blaenau Ffestiniog, a town that once held 22 taverns and 37 places of worship, visitors can tour the Central Electricity Generating Board's Pumped Storage Scheme with its exhibition, audio-visual program and working models. |
 | | A museum, a row of 19th century miner's cottages, a restored tavern, panoramic walks or tours in a jeep at Gloddfa compete for visitors with an underground tram tour into the bowels of the earth at Llechwedd. |
