Fun fact. It was one of the locations used in Carry On Up The Khyber

[@vicsaul5459]

And also in and around there the film 'Willow ' Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley. They crew built a mock up castle , where the wicked queen lived, played by British actress Jean Marsh. Many of the extras cast were locals. Enjoy happy trails 👣😊

Hi Guys, brilliant video, thanks for sharing that with us. What a beautiful place, great shot you got from the view spot down the street. Hope your both well 👍

[@HayandKyle]

Hi Des no problem at all! We are just glad we can share these places with you 😌 agree that view spot is beautiful! 😍 Imagine living up there you'd never keep your eyes off the view 🤣

[@ManchesterMudlarks]

Great video guy looks lovely there , wii have to add this to our list , we did go to the cooper one last week , thanks

[@benburns5995]

Wow, what a great video Kyle and Hayley, must say enjoyed hearing the Slate stone pieces crackling under your feet, very relaxing. Dinorwic Quarry North Wales is sure a huge place and it seemed like you were there by yourselves. Glad you finished off with the secret Waterfall at the end, great way to end the video. The drone footage, different angels and the music were all fantastic.

[@HayandKyle]

Haha thanks Ben that slate sometimes slipped from under your foot 😬 little bit scary in some spots 😂 glad you enjoyed our trip out to the quarry, hope you are doing well 😊

[@RelaxedRoamer]

Wow, what a fascinating exploration of Dinorwic Quarry! The sheer size and history of this abandoned Slate Quarry are truly awe-inspiring. Hay and Kyle did a fantastic job showcasing the beauty and uniqueness of this hiking location in Snowdonia/Eryri National Park. The breathtaking views of the mountains, the glimpse of the abandoned Anglesey Barracks, and the search for the hidden waterfall all added an element of adventure to the video. It's great to have the opportunity to experience the hike vicariously through their exploration. Thank you for taking us on this virtual journey and introducing us to these must-see spots in the mountain ghost town of Dinorwic Quarry.

[@ThomTopics]

Absolutely brilliant 👌👌👌 loved getting to explore this place with you while watching the video, very much need to visit here soon for myself 👍

[@HayandKyle]

Cheers Harrison! 😅 Can't actually explain how vast the place felt! Definitely worth a visit if you are in Snowdonia 👌

Love the video brilliant photo shot of the barracks. Love how all the trees are twisted. Very interesting . The only thing was I was scared if you slipped Kyle on all that slate. Was very interesting to hear all about the history of the place . Well done guys another great video. Love mum.😘😘😘🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹

[@HayandKyle]

Thank yooouu 🥰

[@NotAnotherAdventure]

Dinorwic still remains one of the most epic places we've been. Full of history and adventure, it really feels like it was a working mine

[@HayandKyle]

Hey guys!! 👋 You guys were part of our inspiration thank you for also showing us this spot 😁😅 hope you guys are doing ok out in NZ!

[@peteg330]

Great video guys didn't know that slate mine existed there, I'll be checking it out next time I'm walking in the area!

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.

[@HayandKyle]

Thank you! It's one of those unique places thats never tiring to see! Will have to make a trip back there soon 👌😊

[@SnowdoniaSkies]

@@HayandKyle I don't live too far away so hopefully will be going back up there this weekend

[@24934637]

Dinorwic is an amazing place! Been too long since my last visit! Time to get my arse back there soon! There is a tunnel entrance in the 'Dali's Hole' area that makes for a great overnight bivi spot! Bit of a nightmare ferrying firewood up there, so best keep the fire small!

[@gedheaton1415]

Or better still don't have a fire at all. (LNT)

[@markjenner6415]

Fantastic video guys! I was only there last week, it is an amazing place!!

[@HayandKyle]

Looked like you had brill weather mark 😁👍

[@watchfordpilot]

I dove past it once after a shower and the sun was shining making it look a rich deep purple colour, a memory that will stay with me. We'll definitely be taking a wander around the quarry on our next trip to the area. Great video as always guys, thanks.

[@HayandKyle]

Can imagine how nice it looks after rain 😍 we were due rain that day with the storms coming in but they never arrived! Perhaps next time will catch a glimpse of the deep purple colour 🤞

[@theostowell]

I'm going to stay in Llanberis for a week in August. This is definitely one place that I can check out easily from there. Thanks for the vid!

Hi Theo glad we could show you this place 👌 hope you have a great time in Llanberis 😊👍

[@ireneparkin5660]

Absolutely stunning video, those epic views, loved what you found at the end of the tunnel, my heart was in my mouth though in case you slipped on that path, can't believe the scale of everything, no wonder you & Hayley loved it so much and looks like Pupper was enjoying himself too, looking forward to seeing your next adventure, love and hugs and a fuss for Pupper 🥰♥️♥️♥️💕xxx

[@HayandKyle]

Thanks Nanny! Pupper was definitely done by the end of the day, poor little boy was absolutely shattered! 😅❤️❤️❤️ The scale of it was ginormous! Xx

Hi guys another really interesting video 📹 thanks 😀

[@HayandKyle]

Hi Pam 👋😌 glad to see you enjoyed it! Hope you've had a great weekend ❤️

[@johnjacob7569]

Just about to watch. Did you know, that in that very area, there is a hydroelectric power plant that goes five miles inside the mountain? (In fact, you were walking directly above it). They used to do bus tours inside, and it feels like you’re inside one those rumoured-to-exist deep underground military bases. It’s pretty remarkable feat of engineering.

[@lizarddronedude3617]

1st went in 1975 thanks you guys nostalgic for me

Cheers Paul 👍 glad we could bring you a bit of nostalgia hope you are doing good ❤️

Hi thanks for watching, we're both glad you enjoyed the video. For our filming at Dinorwic we didn't follow a route unfortunately! We were a bit all over the place in an attempt to showcase it's best bits 😊👍

Wow what a place

[@densakai]

Would love to take some of those ABANDONED stone slates, break it up and use as garden stones. 😁

[@HayandKyle]

😂 they are so heavy!!!

[@densakai]

@@HayandKyle oh yeah they would be 😂

[@Stettafire]

They're heavy and if memory serves there are rules against taking them

I have had a quiet weekend as Dexter hasnt been well again 😢 he does seem better now so hopefully he won't have to do his nearly weekly visit to vet

[@HayandKyle]

We know what that's like 😥 Sending lots of cuddles to Dexter ❤️❤️

[@pamsigley7686]

Thanks ❤

[@semperf1dude]

My grandad was a quarry man there, picture of him on a bosun's chair in what looks like a suit, on the vertical face of the quarry (where he and the others were apparently setting charges to blow up the face) my mum and auntie played there as kids (against the rules at the time) during the time it was still in operation around the 1940's + 50's they lived in Deiniolen .

[@bcegerton]

Always wanted to go there but it’s simply not possible, not with my legs anyway

That "secret pla e is TWLL MAWR Quarry the venue for one of the most extraordinary rock-climbing.. johnny dawes's the Quarryman there are many vid o nhere of people doing it a d its history by the..before his time Mr Dawes

[@HayandKyle]

Oooo thanks we didn't know that it had a name! Thanks for the info as always Paul👌😊

[@bobwightman1054]

If you mean the "Secret Cave" at 15:00 then that's "California" not "Twll Mawr", I don't know the old quarrymen's name for it. It's the start of the Snakes and Ladders trip. Twll Mawr is 500m or so further east along the main track and is shown on the 1:25k maps as "Matilda" which is the quarrymen's name for it.

The cave is not a cave, it's a tunnel connecting the working area of the quarry with the inclines.

[@HayandKyle]

Cheers mate 👍

[@darreno9874]

@@HayandKyle no worries, I've just reread my comment and it was a bit curt, sorry about that. If you ever go back, on an upper level called Austraila there is a mill with lots of saw tables in and engine shed and other buildings on near by levels. It's a great place to explore. God bless

[@avantgarde8402]

Ha no way I was there last Sunday. I went where you was aswell though the caves it’s good isn’t it . There was like a marathon on loads of runners 🏃🏻 running around it ?

We were also there last Sunday! 😅😅 We saw the runners too!! Triathlon was on apparently 👍
