We have a few places like this dotted around the island but this a huge on a massive scale. Its only just over 50 years since it was abandoned. The row of cottages are impressive. Excellent vid Steve👍👌
@@SlurpyDave254 cheers Dave not a pub in sight either🤔..we picked a horrible day to go as well gale force winds but the dry before we was in T-shirts in Portmeirion only a few miles away 🍺😎
It's hard to believe people lived in such tiny dwellings with probably bigger families. The slate is stunning! Well done on finding such a beautiful treasure in our heritage!
Thanks for watching Jen..it was hard to find but what a stunning location the village was in..you could feel the hardship and struggle of the previous occupants of the village x
Hi Steve what an interesting video. I've subscribed to your channel after watching you and hearing about it on your son Ants channel . What a great pair you are, taking us all on these journeys with you. Looking forward to travelling with you in 2025. Regards Perth Western Australia 🌞
@@kathymorgan1489 Thanks Kathy I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos I’ve got some great ones planned for this year and hope you’ll like them x
That's for sure, the miners work long and grueling hours. Sad to see the decline of a place. So much history in the place, it just says it all. Thanks again Steve for a very informative video.
@@shirleybezuidenhout2724 Thanks for watching Shirley …it must have been hard back then and living on the side or a mountain the weather would’ve been challenging x
Absolutely loved this one Steve . I know this place well and have been there few times when I lived in north wales. And it has an amazing atmosphere… Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
@@theparadoxclub1326 funny story . I once got lost with a family in the forest I was supposed to take on a mountain bike tour 🙈 Not my finest hour as an instructor 🤣
@@theparadoxclub1326 I lived in Cwm pennant. In converted mill It was part of the Bryncir estate and had the ruined remains of the mansion in the grounds….
@@ianmaddams9577 oh wow that’s awesome…I love north wales it’s a place we went on holiday when I was a kid and I love going back..we were going to move there at one point ..I’d love to now!…
How lovely thanks for bringing us along ,very interesting as always Steve i love history and seeing and hearing about it 👍looing forward to your next one 🎉...
I'm gutted we missed this when we went to the Dinorwig Hydro Power Tour what a fantastic place. Brilliant video and History Steve shame you the worst of the elements that day. Did you pick up on your senses while you were there? Definitively must be some residual energy there. Its strange even though it is abandoned it still has a sense of community there. on to the next see you there :) x
Really interesting , is this in north Wales? I live in mid Wales n there's a lot of history left behind here, Daft monkey did a good video when he was on holiday in north Wales with his girlfriend n dog 😁 x
We came across a village like this when walking down from Snowden many years ago - this does not look like the same as that one, but maybe my memory is just too old now, it was a long time ago around 1975 ! I don't remember a long row of houses like this, but they were stone cottages like this & above the lake, about half way down from the summit of Snowden. So is there another group of houses NOT in a row like this ??? Does anyone know ?
@@veronicaroach3667 Thanks for watching Veronica..yes there is another abandoned village towards snowdon…we were going to go there but this one was on our to do list first x
