Garneddwen

Garneddwen

Garneddwen is a hamlet in the south of the Welsh principal area of Gwynedd (formerly in Sir Feirionnydd/Merionethshire). It lies in the valley of the Afon Dulas.

It consists primarily of a single row of terraced houses, built for the workers at Aberllefenni Slate Quarry. Nearby is Fronwen, built as a family home by the quarry manager.

Garneddwen was the penultimate station on the narrow gauge Corris Railway.

The Roman road between northern and southern Roman Wales, Sarn Helen, probably ran through the hamlet.
