Mynydd Parys...❤️ 🏴
"Copper Kingdom" 👌🏴
Absolutely amazing place to explore, numerous times I've visited here and each time I have I've felt the presence of my late dad... Honestly it blew my mind being here, not only did the colours give you a feel of walking on Mars.. Even though mars has never been walked upon yet. To think of the history of this incredible adventurous open cast pit holds, still. Known as 'copper kingdom' Parys Mountain is one of Anglesey’s must-visit locations! Truly amazing walking landscapes of the ancient copper mine at Parys Mountain. A sight that is really not to be missed is the spectacular Great Opencast, shaped by miners using nothing more than picks, shovels and gunpowder! There is a level walk around the top of the Great Opencast and a viewing area with a stunning panorama that shows off the excavation’s amazing colours, like I said felt like Mars! It became known as the ‘Copper Kingdom’ The mine owner, Thomas Williams became known as the ‘Copper King’. Even today, there is thought to be a reserve of about 6 million tonnes beneath the old mine workings.
Must say in all the times I've visited here I've never seen the place so busy..
Plenty of space to park if not busy and for free.. Highly recommended ❤️
