BSC24: National Slate Museum and train ride (Sun)
13 people attending
2 places left
This is one of the events organised as part of Big Spring Camp 2024.
The National Slate Museum is located in the Victorian workshops built in the shadow of Elidir mountain, site of the vast Dinorwig quarry. Dinorwig Quarry closed in 1969. Free entry.
The Workshops and Buildings are designed as though quarrymen and engineers have just put down their tools and left the courtyard for home, while an array of Talks and Demonstrations including slate-splitting give you a real insight into quarry life.
We will then get some lunch in Llanberis and potentially could jump on the Llanberis Lake Railway Which is a sight to behold
