Take a walk through the past in this Welsh Slate
Quarry situated above the village of Tanygrisiau.
Cwmorthin waterfall.
Originally thought of as a scar on the landscape, butin their own distinct ways, they create a unique vista that only grows more beautiful as nature slowly reclaims the area.
As you traverse the steep ascent at the end of the valley, take time out to look back and enjoy the views over Lyn Cwmorthin.
Arriving at the top, this is where Cwmorthin suddenly turns back into a proper quarrywith remnants of old buildings barely standing, old railway lines and ancillary items slowly rusting away
What was once a thriving miners work areanow lies silent, left to the forces of nature to take back the land.
The Chapel Ruins
Slate Fencing
One of a number of waterfalls around the valley.
Dark skies add to the mood.
Even the miners had a sense of humour.
