Background
History
The Cegin valley was heavily industrialised in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries with two railway lines - the Penrhyn Quarry Railway and the Bethesda branch line - carrying slate from quarries in the hills down to Porth Penrhyn to be shipped across the world. The Lôn Las Ogwen cycleway and footpath runs beside the river along the trackbed of the quarry railway. Just above Port Penrhyn a series of closely connected old bridges cross the Cegin. This complex is a listed building.
