Review & FAQ:

Llechwedd Slate Caverns is a popular tourist attraction housed in the Llechwedd Quarry, which at one point produced nearly 24,000 tons of slate. Though limited production still continues, the caverns are more focused on providing a site of education and fun, detailing the history of slate quarrying for its visitors. Visitors can head to the interpretive center and learn about how slate is extracted and processed. There is also a model village, which shows how miners lived as well as an abandoned section of the quarry for visitors to explore. Popular aspects of the caverns include their zip lines, mountain biking tracks, and giant underground trampolines.
