==Geography== The Moelwyns protect the village from much of the wind from northerly gales in the winter and give the village a pleasant southerly aspect with relatively mild weather considering its location high in Snowdonia. However, rainfall at the upper end of the Ffestiniog valley can be very high all year around.
