Taith hunan dywys o amgylch hen chwarel lechi. Mae pob un o'r 9 wedi eu gadael fel yr oeddynt dros can mlynedd yn ol. Dewch i ddysgu am y diwydiant llechi yng Nghymru ar droead yr ugeinfed ganrif. A self-guided tour of the old slate mine. We have 9 caverns for you to explore, each one remain as the miners left them over 100 years ago. Come and learn about the slate industry in Wales at the turn of the twentieth century. Explore at your own pace. Bring a torch to add to your experience.
It's fun and novel, it's a self guided tour through the old slate mines, you do learn a fair amount about the work done there. Handy tip, drive up the steep road to the car park, and don't park down the hill by the park farm unless you don't mind a steep walk-up. Keep your tickets because you can get PS10 off entry to each other attraction if you have paid full price for one of them.
Slate mine was really interesting for adults and our young kids. We came prepared with torches for the kids who loved it. There's also a discount for the farm if you combine tickets. Farm.. Great Little farm play for the kids. Probably wouldn't recommend for a rainy day although there is an indoor soft play. We could have spent a good 3 hours here playing but were in a rush to get a late lunch elsewhere.
A nice trip out today at Llanfair Slate Caverns. The tour is self-guided so you can spend as long or as little as you like here. We spent around 40 minutes in the caverns themselves. The cost is PS9 adults, PS8 children, PS8.35 concessions. The site is dog friendly and there is no extra charge for the pooches. There is a good gift shop where you can also purchase your tickets on the day. We visited mid-week and practically has the place to ourselves it was so quiet. They also sell Dragon Cavern cheese here, that has been matured in the state cavern themselves. Yummy yummy yummy. Ample parking to be found nearby.
Can't knock this experience! It is what it is, you pay to go into an old slate mine, you get given a helmet and off you go. It was really interesting to learn about the history of slate mining, and the cool temperature in the cavern was very welcome on a hot day. The information boards guide you around very clearly so we didn't get lost. I've only had to take one star off because there was a button for guests to press that was supposed to dim the lights to candlelight level, so that you could appreciate how the miners would have experienced the caverns, but it didn't work! Our 4 year old was quite disappointed, but other than that we had a great time! After visiting here, we got a discount for the farm park which was also great!
Very interesting place to visit and prices are reasonable you get to walk around at your own pace you are given safety helmets and you will need them as some of the passageways have low roofs. Lots of information on the boards as you walk around also noise of miners working ,talking with each other and singing. Not really suited to disabled people as the second level has very steep steps down to it.
Really informative and lovely to walk round at our own speed. Gift shop was a pleasant surprise, lots of things to choose from at reasonable price. Cafe I thought was very expensive take a picnic, there are beautiful views to look over when eating.
