This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases a significant moment in the history of North Wales as the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) line from Bettws-Y-Coed to Festiniog began to open up this picturesque region to tourists. The image, captured near Dolwyddelan at Bryn-Y-Fedw, presents a stunning view of the railway line following the meandering River Lledr. 3. In October 1879, on the 25th, the London and North Western Railway Company officially imported the Festiniog Railway into their system, marking the completion of the route from Bettws-Y-Coed to Festiniog. This was a pivotal development for the area as it brought increased accessibility and tourism, allowing visitors to explore the natural beauty of North Wales. 4.

The River Lledr, with its crystal-clear waters, adds to the serene beauty of the scene. 5. The opening of this railway line not only brought tourists but also facilitated the import and export of goods, further boosting the local economy. The railway's arrival played a crucial role in the development of North Wales as a popular tourist destination and remains an essential part of its rich history. 6. This photograph is a testament to the transformative power of transportation infrastructure, as it allowed people to experience the breathtaking landscapes of North Wales and connect with its history.
