Overview

The now quiet and peaceful valley of Cwnystradlyn was once busy with the sounds of the slate quarrying industry. It is now scattered with reminders of that by-gone age, with derelict buildings, tiered workings, inclines and spoil heaps. Today’s walk explores this area, visiting the impressive remains of the Ynysypandy slate mill.
