Llechwedd Slate Caverns Snowdonia National Park

Blaenau Ffestiniog
Gwynedd

The Llechwedd Slate Caverns are a living breathing museum based above the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog in the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales.

Descend deep into the earth on the mine trains as you explore what life was like for the Welsh Slate miners as they carved slate from the earth.

The Llechwedd Slate Caverns consists of two separate mine tours. Above ground there is the Victorian Village to explore and Miners Arms Pub offering refreshments.

The mines extend for over 25 miles beneath the mountains around Blaenau, come and explore today.

The Miners Tramway takes you through some of the other caverns within the mines many of which are the oldest parts of the Llechwedd Slate Caverns.

The tour guides explain what life was like doing the different jobs required in the mine in the days before electricity.

Llechwedd Slate Caverns are available for special functions and hire. Why not enjoy your wedding here?
