General Map

Welcome to the Interactive Wiki Map.  It is advised that you set your screen to at least 1024 by 768 resolution, and this window to full screen.   The original map was drawn to show the locations of the various mines and quarries around Blaenau Ffestiniog by Graham Isherwood.   This covers a large square-ish area that covers the FR.  Due to its size, it would not reproduce on a normal PC screen and therefore has been split into a grid 3 by 3

Sections on this page are currently QUARRIES and STATIONS
