Eigiau Tramway

The Eigiau Tramway might refer to the Eigiau Quarry Tramway or to the Eigiau Reservoir Tramway.

== Eigiau Quarry Tramway ==
The Eigiau Quarry Tramway was a narrow gauge, mile-long, horse-powered tramway which operated from c1863 to c1888 and served the Eigiau slate quarry (SH702635 ), near Llyn Eigiau in Caernarfonshire, Wales. The tramway was an extension of the Cedryn Quarry Tramway, operating from c1860 to serve the Cedryn slate quarry (SH719636), a little to the south-west of Llyn Eigiau. The tramway linked these two quarries to Dolgarrog in the Conwy valley.
In 1861 the North Wales Chronicle referred to "Tenders invited to construct a tram-road long from Cwm Eigia () slate quarry to River Conwy". However, the tramway was initially only built as far as Cedryn, and in 1863 the ''Caernarvon & Denbigh Herald'' advertised for a contractor to extend west to Cwm Eigiau Quarry. It is entirely possible that the first reference to "Cwm Eigia slate quarry" was in fact a reference to Cedryn, for this quarry was located in Cwm Eigiau.
The mile extension was built some time before 1866, and it is likely that the name "Cwm Eigiau Tramway" became largely synonymous with that of the Cedryn Tramway. Indeed the Caedryn () Slate Quarry Co. Ltd of 1863 became in 1874 the Caedryn () & Cwm Eigiau Slate Co. Ltd, but was dissolved just 11 years later, the slate being of a poor quality.
