A rare opportunity to explore the abandoned underground workings of an old Welsh slate mine. Kitted out with a helmet and cap lamp, join one of Wales’ most experienced Mine Explorers and follow the route of entry dug out by the first miners way back in 1836. The trip also explores more tunnels, caverns and areas of the mine which were worked right up to the early 1970s when the mine finally closed.
See the workings, discover abandoned machinery, tools and other paraphernalia left behind and learn of the harsh working conditions endured by the miners. This is a truly awe-inspiring experience, perfect for the inquisitive and adventurous, and not to be missed. ....
