About

Experience Llechwedds extraordinary Deep Mine Tour and explore the mine's colossal man-made mountains on the Quarry Explorer off road truck tour!

Buried deep under the mountains of Snowdonia lies an extraordinary story: it’s a rock revolution that shaped the look and feel of the world as we know it. A way of life which built communities and defined generations of families in North Wales.

Slate Mountain Adventure is the complete Llechwedd experience. Named the 2019 Go North Wales Attraction of the Year, Slate Mountain Adventure takes you to the made-made mountains featured in the Quarry Explorer, but on a route modified for this tour. Your guide for the day will then offer you a complimentary hot drink to warm up before heading into the Deep Mine to continue the story...

Don't have time for the full half-day Slate Mountain Adventure?

The Deep Mine Tour tells the story of the men who built this incredible industry which roofed the world. Experienced from the point of view of the mine workers, the tour uses cutting-edge enhanced reality technology, light projections and special effects to tell the story of their blood and guts, their determination and resilience, their risk and endeavour.

The Quarry Explorer complements the deep mine tour perfectly, though it is also a great stand-alone day out too. It's an off road adventure that will take you right into the heart of Llechwedd’s man-made mountains. Travelling in a military 4 x 4 truck you’ll drive up high to the top of the quarry and into some of the massive craters we made by blasting the tops off our hundred-year-old caverns.

You’ll learn more about how this amazing landscape was formed, and why it is now the subject of a UNESCO World Heritage Status bid. You’ll take in views of North Wales like no other and have the opportunity to snap some great photographs.
