Betws Garmon is a community or parish and small hamlet outside Waunfawr and near Beddgelert since 1974 in Gwynedd, Wales. It had a population of 249 in the UK census of 2011. The summit of Snowdon lies within the community boundaries. Bryn Gloch has the newly reopened narrow gauge Welsh Highland Railway passing alongside it. Over the road from Bryn Gloch there is a parish church. Along the mountain extensive slate workings can be seen. Slate tiles (shaped from the natural material) were a very popular roofing material for housing up until 1950. For the most part, they have been replaced by clay tiles or concrete tiles, but slate is still used. [edit] Research Tips
