Beautiful, just stunning. I love seeing urbexers in mines, I would stop at every rock formation too. Country side and sheep also beautiful. Top report

This would be gorgeous in summer to camp or Bunkhouse and do Ratgoed, Grochan, Hendre-Ddu and mooch about Abellefenni in general, there is just so much goodness in this locale.

This really is a gorgeous place, one I want to get back to at some point. Relatively unexplored compared with the other more famous ones as well. Did you not have a look at the old manor house at the far end of the buildings?

I am stealing this plan and using it. Hammocks, mines and sheep; happy days!

Thanks for commenting Mookster , If you mean the Hall then no we didnt see it because I realised when we first got to the mine that I had lost my Nitcore TM26 torch and thought that I had dropped it on the walk up so I just wanted to walk back asap to see if I could find it. But it is a lovely place as you know and the object this year is to do more of the lesser known mines but when we next visit the area the Hall will be on the list to see

Dont forget to send out the invites and add beer to the list

It’s a summer camp and bbq for sure, we missed a few other bits which I found out after we went.

Beer is always on the list!

We should create a big beer fueled mine expedition!

Saves sending out invites.

Do you need climbing gear to get in or can anyone scramble/walk down?
