The Decaying Structures of Dinorwic Quarry

In this video, we return to the amazing abandoned Dinorwic slate quarry in the Snowdonia region of North Wales to explore some of its hidden structures we missed last time - we certainly saved the best till last. Here we look at the ruins of Anglesey Barracks, the slate cutting sheds, and the workers' cabin.

    I had a holiday in NW a few years ago. Absolutely stunning place. We went to a slate museum and I was very impressed by the craftsmanship involved.

    Great video. I was up there last week having not been for 20 years, but failed to get to Y Caban or Anglesey Barracks though, just so much to see, planning to return soon!

    Such a stunning landscape and beautiful part of Wales, a lovey video guys, an interesting history, which shows how harsh and remote the conditions they had to work in and live. 👌

    What a great day for an explore! Thanks guys, yet again. Wish you could come to NZ and check out the Denniston Incline on the West Coast. Obviously not as old as sites in the UK, but pretty cool. Good camera work.😊

    Loved your first video at the quarry and this more recent one. I’ve attempted to cover all the quarry over a number of visits but it’s too vast! Could you tell me where to find the saw mill and the workers cabin?
