Anglesey Barracks in Dinorwig Slate Quarry

from £16.50
Option:

Nestled within the rugged landscape of Eryri (Snowdonia), the Anglesey Barracks offer a haunting glimpse into the harsh realities of the Welsh slate industry. Built in the 1870s within the massive Dinorwig Slate Quarry, these two parallel rows of 11 granite-block cottages once housed itinerant quarrymen who traveled from the Isle of Anglesey and beyond for their grueling workweek. Today, these UNESCO World Heritage ruins stand as some of the best-preserved examples of 19th-century worker housing, drawing hikers and photographers to their atmospheric "forgotten street" overlooking Llyn Padarn and Llanberis.
