Penarth Slate Mine closed in the 1930's, Located in the Llangollen area near Carrog on the top of a hill, recommended as an intro to mines with bits to see in the mine and also outside of the mine. Quite a few chambers & levels to explore with carts, tracks and Cabans remaining.

However there is gas in the furthest reaches of the east vein, care should be taken if visiting.

A Few outside first:
