The great massif of Cnicht dominates this unusal view of Gelert and its train, as it heads southward from Pen-y-Mount. To the right of Cnicht lies the Croesor valley, at the head of which are the remains of extensive slate quarry workings. This industry was one of the main reasons the railway was built back in the 1860s (more history). Ben Fisher | |
