Trawsfynydd ((:trausˈvənɨ̞ð); Welsh for "across () mountain") is a village in Gwynedd, Wales, adjacent to the A470 north of Bronaber and Dolgellau near Blaenau Ffestiniog. The total parish area is 12,830 hectares with a population of just under 1000, measured at 973 in the 2011 Census〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Community population 2011 )〕 – the area is sparsely populated with each hectare inhabited by an average 0.07 persons. The village is typical of many Welsh villages. There is one grocery shop, one public house, a newsagent, a chemist, garage, petrol service station, and a branch of a large agricultural merchants. ==General information== During the Second World War, the War Office used a site near Trawsfynydd for training exercises. Its continued use for training exercises following the war was the subject of protest by Plaid Cymru, which also challenged the UK government's continued military conscription in peace time. Other locations in Wales used for training exercises included the Preseli Hills, Bronaber, and Tregaron. Trawsfynydd used to be served by a section of the Great Western Railway branch line, which ran from Bala to Blaenau Ffestiniog. To the north of the station, the army built its own station to serve the large camp nearby.((camp detail )) Today Trawsfynydd railway station is a private home. ((pictures )). The line closed to all traffic in 1961, and the trackbed at the Bala end was subsequently severed by the Llyn Celyn reservoir, but the section between Blaenau and Trawsfynydd Power Station reopened in 1964 for nuclear flask traffic. Access from the Bala end being no longer possible, a new section of track – the so-called "Trawsfynydd Link" – was constructed to link the previously separate ex-GWR and ex-LNWR stations in Blaenau Ffestiniog. It finally closed in 1998, although the track remains in situ. The village has a high proportion of Welsh language speakers (81.7%),〔(Bwrdd yr Iaith - pdf file )〕 and is accordingly in the top five Welsh-speaking communities in Gwynedd.〔(Mentrau Iaith )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trawsfynydd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
