Llanberis is a village in North Wales, lying beside the Llyn Padarn lake in Snowdonia. The village originally grew around the slate quarrying industry, but since the closure of the quarries the main employers have been tourism and the Dinorwig power station , a pumped storage hydroelectric station. The ruins of Dolbadarn Castle, built by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth in the 13th century, stand above the village, famously painted by Richard Wilson.
