Galeri
They began by taking on the challenging task of transforming and refurbishing some of Caernarfon's biggest eyesores. To date, the Trust has renovated and refurbished over twenty neglected and vacant properties in the town, which are now occupied by tenants. Galeri Caernarfon Cyf is an independent and private company, which is limited by guarantee. The company is not a part of any local authority or any other organisation. Since it began, the company has grown from strength to strength and is now responsible for establishing and implementing numerous projects and schemes within the local community. The Trust's busy work programme includes property development, implementing Adwy Cyf schemes (Agency role), setting up and managing SBARC. As an increasing number of the townÂ’s buildings became neglected, run-down and empty, Galeri Caernarfon Cyf (formerly known as Cwmni Tref Caernarfon) was set up as an independent Town Development Trust in 1992 and began by taking on the challenging task

National Slate Museum
This museum-with-a -difference is based in the original Victorian Engineering Workshops that serviced the vast Dinorwig Slate Quarry from its heyday in the 1870's to its closure in 1969.The site was opened as a Museum in 1972 - the world's only national slate museum - and the north Wales headquarters of Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales - attracting over 140,000 visitors a year! The workmen might have gone, but the museum remains a living place with an authentic working atmosphere. The quarry workshops are still in regular use - visitors can see the foundry, the old office and the smithy, where the blacksmith is kept busy producing tools for the museum as well as quality items for sale in the attractive museum shop . The museum carpenter will take you on a guided tour of the saw sheds and you can marvel at the giant waterwheel - one of the world's largest, which drove machinery through a complicated system of belts and pulleys and continues to turn today.
