Dinorwig, sometimes spelled Dinorwic, is a small village located high above Llyn Padarn, near Llanberis, in North Wales. It is thought that it was part of the territory of the Ordovices tribe, and that 'Dinorwig' means "Fort of the Ordovices".

Facilities

Dinorwig is famous for its climbing routes as it is one of the main access points for Dinorwig Quarry. It lies at the end of the 83 bus service to and from Caernarfon, currently operated by Express Motors, with connecting services to and from Bangor at Deiniolen.

Lodge Dinorwig, one of the most popular cafés in the area, is situated in the building that was once the village hall (Y Ganolfan).

History

{{unsourced|section|date=October 2016}}

Today, the village shares its name with a pumped storage hydroelectric power station, Dinorwig power station. The village is also the location of the Blue Peris Mountain Centre, a residential outdoor activities centre operated by Bedford Borough Council and Central Bedfordshire Council.

Part of the film Willow was shot in the disused Dinorwig Quarry, in June 1987. The village's population is approximately 200.
