Quarrying cottages at Nant Gwrtheyrn, Gwynedd Once derelict, the Nant Gwrtheyrn quarry cottages now boast four-star accommodation as part of the 5m renovations

First Minister Carwyn Jones has officially opened a 5m redevelopment of a Victorian quarry village and Welsh language centre in Gwynedd.

It is hoped the renovation of Nant Gwrtheyrn on the Lln peninsula will turn the location into a tourism hub.

Tucked away in a remote blind valley, the village was once home to 200 quarry workers and their families.

Abandoned in the 1970s, it now boasts four-star accommodation, and a heritage centre.
