The valley has been a highly rated destination for many years. Lord Lyttelton’s blog in 1776 ....’Nothing remarkable occurred in our ride, until we came to Festiniog, the Valley before which is the most perfectly beautiful of all
we had seen ..... with the woman one loves, with the friend of one’s
heart, and a good study of books, one might pass an age there,
and think it but a day.’

Rugged mountains on 3 sides and sandy beaches along the shore.
Slate from Blaenau was the cutting edge of lightweight, roofing technology –

Dwyryd and was rowed out on the tide past Portmeirion to waiting ships.
