WHAT IS CEI LLECHI?

Historically, Cei Llechi (Slate Quay) was a very important industrial and shipping hub for Caernarfon and the surrounding area.

Following decades of decline and neglect, the buildings had deteriorated and laid empty. Today, what were shells of buildings have been transformed into 19 workspaces for local artisan / craft manufacturers and restaurant.

The site also includes 3 self-catering holiday lets, the Harbour Office’s boardroom is available to hire and an interpretation area sharing more information about the importance of Cei Llechi historically locally, nationally and internationally.
