Cwm Penmachno

Cwm Penmachno is a former quarry settlement at the head of the Penmachno valley in North Wales.

The slopes around the village provide streams which are the source of the River Machno, which flows past the larger village of Penmachno before joining the River Conwy south of Betws-y-Coed.

The quarry closed in 1962, however, the former industrial terraced housing which looks somewhat out of context in this rural area remains as a reminder of the past.
