Description

The Dinorwic Slate Quarry ceased operation as an active quarry some 40 years ago. It is located in North Wales between the villages of Llanberis and Dinorwig, very close to Snowdonia.
In it's time it was the second largest slate quarry in Wales and the world with only the neighbouring Penrhyn Quarry being any bigger. Covering more than 700 acres it consisted of two main quarry sections with 20 galleries in each, together with a number of ancillary workings. Extensive internal tramway systems connected the quarries using inclines to transport slate between the galleries, or "levels" as they are usually known.
