CHWAREL HÊN, LLANFAIR SLATE CAVERNS: The entry to this old but important slate mine is through the main tunnel, under the twin arches of the crypt, and into the lofty cathedral cavern. Remember that the tunnels and caverns you are about to see are all man made over a 100 years ago with only a candle for lighting.


The slate in this mine, which is found in veins between layers of ancient Pre-Cambrian rocks, is among the oldest in the world. Many industrial towns in Britain and Ireland have the original roofs made of Llanfair slate.

Descend Jacobs ladder and wonder through the tunnels and chambers, and look for the old drilling holes, and the likeness of a human face in the mighty no 6 cavern. As you emerge from the caverns, you face the breathtaking view of Cardigan Bay, from the Preseli mountains in the south to the Lleyn peninsular. Look down at Shell Island and the Artro estuary, and at low tide trace the fourteen mile long natural causeway of St Patrick.

SOUVENIR SHOP AND CAFETIRIA
Our souvenir shop and rock mineral section is a must, stocking an extensive range of interesting items for you to remind you of your visit to this unique slate cavern complex.

And if you get hungry or thirsty after your visit, the cafeteria serves hot drinks, snacks and cream teas.
