Description
Derelict tramway linking the Chwarel Fawr slate quarry with the inclines descending down to Llanberis in the east. The tramway survives as a revetted stone trackway running below the spoilheaps of Chwarel Fawr quarry and it continues as a visible earthwork in the heath to the east. The site is marked on both the OS 1st Edition and current mapping. West end is SH 55251 59890. East end is SH 55765 60117. P.J. Schofield, OANorth, 7th June 2007
