Alighting at Roman Bridge station you are confronted with the breathtaking beauty of the secluded cwm of Blaenau Dolwyddelan nestling in the shadow of Moel Siabod.
From here it is but a short off-road walk to Dolwyddelan Castle, the 12th century stronghold of Prince Llywelyn the Great.
A walk to the top of the Crimea pass will yield wide views over Ffestiniog towards the Rhinog Mountains and the Cambrian Coast.
