Cwm Pennant is a little known valley firmly on the unfashionable side of Snowdonia. The valley was home to slate workings in the late 19th century employing up to 200 workers. The slate was quarried, brought to be dressed and then shipped off in trams down the valley to its destination. The valley is mainly used for farming nowadays with farming stock indiginous to the area – Welsh Black cattle and Welsh Mountain, Welsh Mule and Lleyn sheep
