A view of the south side of llyn Cwmorthin near Blaenau Ffestiniog. Above the village of Tanygrisiau in Meirionnydd is a hidden valley. Described by many as a magical place, it has a history all of its own - a history of rural hardship, one of remoteness and of industrialisation.
Once home to many working class families who gathered there in the boom years of the 19th Century slate-rush, joining a farming community that had lived there for centuries before.
From reputedly as early as the 11th Century to the 1940s it proved a home to many a family and lodger alike. Now only ghosts remain.
