About Rhiwen

Rhiwen lies in Gwynedd's slate country, beneath Snowdonia's peaks. The A4086 connects it to Caernarfon and Capel Curig, with most visitors arriving via the A55 then A487. It's 20 minutes from Bangor, making it popular for exploring the old quarrying villages. The village sits directly below Elidir Fawr mountain, whose quarried terraces remain strikingly visible on the mountainside.
