Our final day in Wales was a mountain walk which took us to the top of a local mountain and back through a huge slate quarry. The weather was wet and windy but we saw some fascinating sights and great views.

a hole known as Mordor
views across the Dinorwig Quarry
I thought this wall was amazing...
this derelict building is the old cutting shed.and to finish with...
this little railway station with a big name!
Wow these photos are just amazing! Another place to add to the list of 'must visits'
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to look up that railway station now :D
I remember the -gogogoch bit.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great trip, and it would have helped to get you ready for the SW Path.
Ruth, On holiday as a child, it was images like these of the quarries that made me fall in love with slate. So much so that I have my own bit of Wales to lie under every night.
