Everything about Waunfawr totally explained
Waunfawr (
large moor/heathland in
Welsh) is a large village on the outskirts of
Snowdonia National Park,
Gwynedd, in North
Wales.
Waunfawr railway station on the
Welsh Highland Railway adjoins the
Snowdonia Parc Brewpub and Inn
at the southern end of the village.
The local community enterprise charity,
Antur Waunfawr
, among its many local initiatives, operates the Bryn Pistyll Site at Waunfawr as a popular attraction for local people and tourists. It includes a nature park, gardens and nursery, museum, crafts and local products shop, cafe and children’s play area.
The
Marconi Company built a large high-powered
Long Wave Wireless Telegraph transmitting station near the village in
1914 which worked in association with its receiving station at
Tywyn. The station initiated commercial transatlantic wireless service from
London to
New York in
1920. It replaced Marconi's transatlantic wireless service from
Clifden,
Ireland to
Canada, after the Clifden station was destroyed in the Irish Civil War in
1922. The building is now used as a climbing centre.
There are many recreational facilities available in Waunfawr, from playing
snooker to playing
football on the all-weather pitch. There is also a youth club and a junior
football club for kids.
The village name is occasionally, and erroneously, spelt "Waenfawr" which in
1994 changed it's name from "Waenfawr" to "Waunfawr".
