Directions
At Rhydymywyn, take the Nant Alyn Road and head to the caravan park.
After the fork (still heading for the caravan park) there are a couple of parking places (or passing places) along the way alongside the river Alyn. When parked in one of these, you can see the adit under a tree just on the other side of the river.

Suggested Equipment
None.

100 feet

None known

Mine Attributes

Description
A once significant vein, now blocked by a collapse.
The entrance is grand with a nicely worked, stone built passage and a shaft to surface within 30 feet.
Once inside, a collapse prevents further travelling. However, water is running through the mud collapse suggesting it is worth a venture through to the other side.

There is evidence of an abandoned dig here. This dig would undoubtedly be substantial.

There is also believed to be another shaft dropping into this adit but this has not been found and would be on the far side of the blockage.

Unexplored Passages
Beyond the blockage is unexplored.

Digs
One abandoned dig known
