- Decided to return to the craziest quarry in North Wales. Plan was, to try and get to the highest point of the quarry, just to experience how crazy it must have been, working there. Even with it being summer, when the wind picks up, its horrendous. The conditions must have been terrible. Seeing the mineshafts and inclines up close for the first time, really is a mind melter
You have some truly beautiful and amazing places to explore there
Amazing video and editing Baskett. That place looks like you could spend a good couple of days exploring. Thanks for the morning watch
Yeah, we planned to only be there for a couple hours. Well over 5 hours later, we still had more to look at. The hydro electric station is crazy
They filmed part of the 2010 remake of Clash of The Titans there, specifically that huge ramp seen at 3:40. Shame about the weather! It really was crap all last July and August!
Great video - thanks
Amazing place! Was there a few weeks ago before we walked up snowdon! Love it Baskett!
Wow Sam you really cool raw beauty of slate mining stunning.
Brilliant footage and I did a recent video with the drone flying around the quarry. One of many parts to come as it's an amazing place. Thanks for sharing. Definite sub from me.
Bloody good stuff that, been round that way a few times but never up there. Is it health and safety'd off or you free to explore?
Designated pathways (with warning signs stating unsafe zones) which everyone ignores
Spooky 👻
What was in that mineshaft, has it been filled in
oh yeah ...... =)
I have been to Dinorwic and being totally honest I think it just been left in a mess .. It is not something to be proud of. I just think its sad that what would have once been a stunning landscape has be left looking like a tip ..Sorry Guys that just my personal opinion.
I thought that they had spoilt it. Obviously blew the place up, would be much safer if they left it as it was
The quarries were worked for nearly two hundred years and were shut down overnight by the owners with no warning to the workers who turned up on the Monday morning to locked gates. Much of the UK landscape that we now see as "natural" and something to appreciated for itself was industrial and seen as something to exploit. Slate quarrying and mining only ended up using around 3% of what was extracted hence the large waste heaps. Not pretty, maybe impressively ugly may be a better term.
The whole area is now a World Heritage Site.
Climbers have names for many of the quarries: the flooded hole with trees sticking out of the water is "Dali's Hole", the first one through the tunnel with the hanging chain is "California". Then there's "Lost World" and "Mordor", the large multi-tiered working near the top is "Australia". The quarrymen had different names for these.
@@bobwightman1054 Hi Bob Thank you for replying to my comment. I can understand why many people see Dinorwic Slate Quarry fascinating and of course its history should be remembered but In my humble opinion it could have been left in a better and more safer state. I guess from my point of view being a landscape photographer what I see is a beautiful Landscape destroyed and left in a total mess. It is also a very dangerous place and I am shocked why health and safety allow the public to walk all over it. As you said Impressively Ugly is probably the best description I have heard yet. There is no denying though that it is quite a fascinating place.
