The structure of these homes reminds me of the ancestral Pueblo cliff dwelling people of the Southwest USA, check out the walls of Chaco Canyon. The rocks are piled in the same exact fashion, my ancestors from Wales married Native Americans when they arrived centuries ago, it's intriguing to see the similarities in ancient cultures.
My Taid (welsh for grandad) was a retired miner in north wales, his face had a blue hue from the years of coal settling into his skin. He was an amazing, incredible guy and we would sit in the coal shed for hours while he told me stories and how important the life you had was the one you should be living to the full. I never thought it odd at all that we spent so much time sitting amongst the coal, but i guess that was his quiet place. I loved every minute of his time.
What a wonderful real life story, one to hand down to your own children. Use his words and his own stories he told you to make your life more fulfilling. We used to have an old coal store and I'd often emerge from it covered in coal dust until one day I came home from school and my coal laden den had been dismantled and was just bricks. So I built my own den from the bricks with no knowledge (Hey I was 7) and used to play in my own built brick den that probably wasn't safe, but it was waterproof using the old door as a roof. Then one day I came home and found it all gone... my Mum explained that bricks were dangerous if not put together correctly with cement and interlaced. Not sure what words she used exactly but she basically said she had the brick removed for my safety. Didn't take away my go cart made from the kitchen table and silver cross wheels that I'd fly down the quite steep roads we lived on. Steep enough that even today you have to start in 1st to go up the hill, anything low powered would struggle, I Loved my Go cart ❤ Hahaha. H&S ....nope!
You have inspired me with the story of your grandfather, I shall write about mine. His name was Arthur and that is my middle name to honour him. He was just the right (or maybe wrong) age to have served in both world wars but despite injuries he survived them. In peace times he was a railway guard in the times of steam and once guarded the Royal Train on a visit to Portsmouth. He had many hobbies and interests in his families' small rented Victorian terraced house. Very sadly he died from the big C when I was 8 y.o, probably the smoke from the steam engines was in his lungs, I don't remember him as a smoker or drinker, he was too busy with his creative passtimes. I still have the last letter that he wrote in his life and so badly wish that I could have known and learned from him for longer. I shall definitely write more about him but don't know where to publish my words. Ideas anybody?

@@lindan2836 Why did you assume the OP was American? You don't mention the hardship of the lives or the miners. Not only paying rent but they would have had to buy their firewood and food as well.
Definitely. And how they contributed to their communities. When they donated a part of their wages to help build libraries, swimming pools etc to benefit their families and the people around them.
Fascinating Adam. I am 79 and disabled. It is great to tour places I could never get to. Your video is really appreciated. Amazing these buildings still stand after 100’s of years. Your haunted house videos are great.
What an incredible find, its like a fairy tale you read in books, and here your right in the real place, it's breath taking and takes you away!!!! To the history of these incredible people.
So excited! There is no better way to spend a Sunday evening than exploring with you Adam ❤ I only found your channel about 6-7 weeks ago and I've been hooked since day one 😊 You are always so kind and respectful of the belongings in abandoned homes. In your paranormal explorations you are just as respectful too, and genuine. Much love and respect to you Adam, you're such a wonderful, kindhearted and funny man ❤
This was so much fun. Thanks for the exciting and enjoyable exploration of Wales's Abandoned Ghost Towns. Love the outdoor adventures checking out these beautiful old ruins of Slate Quarry village.🙂
😮Wow Adam, I’m just picking my jaw up off the floor! That was absolutely amazing, the barracks and the lost village! Both beautiful places and so much of the buildings still there! Just shows they were well built hundreds of years ago, unlike today. Thank you for taking us to see these lost places❤😊
Magical forest explores! Thank you, Adam, for taking us on this Welsh journey. Rich green furry hues and beautiful slate ruins and mossy trees. Sounds peaceful, walking among historic ruins.
I love the outdoor exploration! This explore was above the top. My grandmother’s husband was a miner in a slate mine in Colorado usa. They had a small brick house in a town with streets of mining families. All brick, same size yards. He and his first wife had 9 kids in a 3 bedroom home.
My ancestors were Welsh, my great grandad left to find work on the railways and came to live and work in northern Ireland uk. I would like to visit Wales someday. Loved the waterfall my guilty pleasure, i love them. Thanks for this explore Adam. ❤ 😊 xxx
Adam has had my support for years, he is one of the best RUclips explorers and the best in his particular field, prolific too. The only stuff I don't like is the paranormal but I endure it for all the good stuff Adam does. A pillar in my life of retirement and worsening health and mobility.
looks like something from ancient times the rock the moss & ferns the water just amazing I am in my lounge room in Australia just loving these tours you do for us (I even love the paranormal stuff too ,,,wouldn't it have been awesome to see if some ancient miner was still around) we often say if walls could talk well sometimes I think they do !!
Hands down my favourite explore that you have ever done, thankyou for sharing. And to think these places are only a couple of hours driving away. Beautiful testament to the craftsmanship of these amazing peoples skill.
Wow, this is so amazing. Thank you for sharing this one Adam. I would love to visit these during warmer weather except for spiders and snakes. These are so interesting. OMG the old manor is beautiful!!!! The people that once lived there must have been short, skinny and healthy based on how they cooked and whatever they ate. Gorgeous
Adam, I loved this adventure 🙂 the old houses, so great. The cave was not for someone so tall as you. 😳 The houses with basements must have been root cellars where they kept potatoes, carrots, Apples etc so they’d be nice and cold and last over the winter months to keep who lived there fed. We all are seeing history through your cameras eye with you leading us Adam. Thank you so very much, you’re so appreciated. PS, when we got to the Manor house I fully expected to SEE “Fairies and some Little Folk” might be running around! 🤭 I’m definitely rewatching this one again. Ohhh, to be there with photography equipment, how exciting!
What amazing history….. it’s hard to believe they once existed as beautiful places to live in , Incredible place, I’m not surprised you’re so taken aback…. I’m taken aback just viewing it all!!! Stunning time capsule .
Wow. How amazingly beautiful. Those buildings are incredible especially the last one. As much as I love your ghost hunting and abandoned homes, there is just something outstanding about this video. Eerily sombre, yet so exciting. Thank you for showing us these amazing places.
Wow! What an amazing place. All the slate is so beautiful and crazy how it’s all still standing. Trying to imagine people actually living their lives there at one point. Crazy. Thank you so much for doing what you do. So cool to see!
Fantastic explore Adam, I really loved the history of this forgotten time capsule. Great great work! Love what you do you really do draw my attention to these adventures xx
Nature never ceases to amaze. I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s so incredibly beautiful. All the stone is dry stack,no mortar to keep them together. Yet there they are still so solid. I almost expected you to run into Frodo and friends 😂. Thank you so much for taking us to see this.
Today's exploring is tremendous, so unique, so wonderful 💯💯💯
This place looks like a fantasy movie 🎥🎥🎥
Incredible 👌👌👌
Glad you enjoyed it

Those old houses are nearer 300 years old and still standing,, testament to the great men that built them .
I know that you americans with your cartboard houses think that that is amazing. But here in europe is quite normal😂

Incredible made to last buildings. Loved the hidden waterfall. Thanks Adam for showing us the amazing village in the middle of nowhere.
These places are so beautiful! I love the medieval look of the forest and the ruins!! So cool! What a magical adventure! Thank you Adam!

Been looking forward to seeing these abandoned mining villages for quite a while now tough places and tough people we had back in the days gone by.

Video's like this make me wish I could travel back in time to see it as it was. Thanks Adam, beautiful scenery, with lots of history.
Fantastic...thank you Adam, for taking me to places I just couldn't reach and see for myself. Loved this ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Exactly. I felt like I was there.
WOW! You find the most interesting places to show us, Adam! Thank YOU!
This place is just beautiful. To think what it must have looked like back in the day. 😮❤❤
Much needed on this boring rainy evening. I wish I was with you i love a adventure.
Amazing history to see here. Nature is reclaiming this lost village in a most beautiful way. Thanks for a great Video x
As always, I’ll be tuning in. Coming from a family of Welsh miners and also being a history nerd, this episode is going to really appeal to me. 🙏

It's amazing to see whole houses made from slate, imagine how purple they looked before moss'n'lycan kick in
This makes me want to visit Wales to see this beautiful area. Keep them coming.
Makes me want to visit too
I am quite speechless. So beautiful. Almost like being there. We have nothing like that in the US. Thank you Adam.

Absolutely brilliant. So many dwellings, it must have been teeming with life in it's day.
This was fantastic, what a magical place. You find the best locations. Love it.
