The Settlement Heirarchy in Ffestiniog

Upon visiting the various settlements in the Vale of Ffestiniog, it was quite apparent that certain places were of more 'importance' than others, ranging from a few houses and a primary school, to superstores and governmental buildings. Data was collected for each of the 14 settlements visited, and sorted into hierarchical order. Once this was done a pattern emerged:
