Abergynolwyn is a small village in Gwynedd, Wales, lying on the River Dysynni. Historically its main industry was slate quarrying and the village was founded in the 1860's to house workers at the nearby Bryn Eglwys quarry. Today farming and tourism are the major local industries. The Talyllyn railway runs from Tywyn to Nant Gwernol http://www.talyllyn.co.uk/index.jsp
