WHAT IS CEI LLECHI?

Historically, Cei Llechi (Slate Quay) was a very important industrial and shipping hub for Caernarfon and the surrounding area. The buildings had deteriorated, and now in 2022 – 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.

About Us

HISTORY OF THE SITE

Evidence of the origins of Cei Llechi can be found as far back as 1611, where according to maps, it appeared to be a levelled area with a face cut into the bed-rock on the east bank of the river Seiont. Eighteenth century views of the area such as Richard Wilson’s painting Caernarfon Castle (1745) also depict various activities such as netting and boat-repair taking place in this area.

DEVELOPING THE SITE

The project’s architect was Purcell, and Grosvenor Construction Ltd of Kinmel Bay were the main contractor responsible for the conservation and development of the site.

Work on the site started in October 2018 and the project was completed in Summer 2021.
