Landscape Planning Cwmorthin Quarry, North Wales Around 2,000,000 m2
In 2021, the slate landscape in North Wales was nominated as a World Heritage site. Cwmorthin Quarry is one of the slate mining quarries booming in the 18th-century slate rush which was the home to many working-class families. This regeneration project is to promote the history of the North Wales slate industry while enhancing the heritage ruin’s value with nature.
