Easy to navigate, this sumptuous underground delight is on two levels and contains one of the most photographed slate inclines in North Wales.

Location : Penarth Slate Mine
Meet Place : A5 near Llidiart y Parc
Meet Date : Thursday 1st February 2024
Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm
Suitability : Suitable for Novices
Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp, gloves.

Link to Parking:
A5 Layby

Notes : This mine has suffered a lot from graffiti vandalism and lots Litter. It has been suggested that you might like to bring a wire brush or a bin bag to assist in the removal of this paint/rubbish. That’s a choice for you ….

Here is a link to the forum thread;

Thanks !

See you soon…..
