B4414 (Merionethshire)

This article is about the Ffestiniog incarnation of the B4414.
For the original B4414 to Abersoch, now part of the A499, see B4414 (Llanbedrog - Abersoch).

The now-unclassified Glanypwll Road

The second incarnation of the B4414 was a short road south of Blaenau Ffestiniog, linking the A496 to itself. The road was originally part of the B4408 but was quickly declassified. However, it regained Class II status, as the B4414, in 1935. In more recent years the A496 has been rerouted taking over the majority of the B4414, with the exception of the northernmost third, which has been bypassed and so declassified.

The road turned off the A496 in the suburb of Rhiwbryfdir and headed southwest along Glanypwll Road under the main railway line and then over a level crossing on the Ffestiniog Railway; the latter was then followed along a valley most of the way to Tanygrisiau before the B4414 bore left. It continued south along the valley of the Afon Goedol, returning to the A496 at Pengwern.
