쉬운 축제 커뮤니티 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

Cwmorthin Slate Quarry는 Tan y Grisiau 위의 마법 같은 산업 계곡으로, 거대한 작업물과 폐허로 웨일스의 산업 유산을 강조하는 인상적인 지역입니다. 1810년에서 1939년 사이에 운영되었으며 광범위한 궤도와 기계로 서비스되던 5개의 다른 지하층이 있었습니다. 슬레이트 공장과 같은 많은 지상 건물은 여전히 볼 수 있습니다. 사진작가라면 이른 여름 빛이나 추운 겨울 안개 속에서 이곳을 방문해야 합니다.

The long abandoned Barracks and Mill buildings of Rhosydd Quarry in the Moelwyn mountains of North Wales on a changeable day last September. A break in the heavy cloud allowed a burst of sunlight through that lit up the shiny slate rubble to make it look a bit like water. The dark buildings stood out against the lower slopes of Foel Ddu.

The spartan barracks at Rhosydd, a hard place to live and work, not far from the summit of a mountain.

Car park gets full up top so park sensibly park close to next car gives more space for others. Don’t park in front of gate as this is used by farmer Go Below and mountain/cave rescue. More parking available at bottom of hill.

Small train station in the mountains - slate was once mined here - now a tourist attraction.

Slate was mined here above and below ground from about 1830. The remote location proved difficult, and a series of financial troubles hampered the quarry. It shut during WW1 and reopened afterwards until finally closing in 1948. At it's peak, this was the second-largest underground slate mine in North Wales. Today you can explore the spoil and some of the old machinery.

No haute cuisine, but coffee and delicious cakes and rustic soups and other dishes. Very good after the strenuous hike.

Impressive, the many building ruins and the huge waste heaps
