Wales is a land
of great beauty. From the peak of Eryri ("Mount Snowdon")

few lands with such dramatic scenery. Here is just a taste of
Wales in pictures.
Porth Madog was founded by William Madocks (1773 - 1828)
as a shipping port for the slate quarried at Blaenau Ffestiniog. The
harbour is connected to 'Stiniog by the famous Ffestiniog steam railway.
