Explore some of the history and heritage of Wales from a completely unique angle. Visit a location of the National Park seen by few. Experience the environment of the Victorian miners and learn about the methods and techniques used to extract the slate that roofed the Victorian world.

The day involves walking and some scrambling around an old slate mine, the day is relatively strenuous involving a fair bit of walking uphill, but does not involve small tight spaces. There is the option if people are interested to include some climbing type activity in the mine.
