Dinorwic Quarry | Snowdonia National Park | Eryri | Abandoned Places | North Wales

The first time I went to Dinorwic Quarry I was amazed at how big it was, there is so much to explore and so much to see. Every visit I find new things, all of which are very interesting. The view from the top is amazing too, it really is a big kids playground.
All the good stuff being said, I'm not going to pretend this place isn't a bit sketchy, a little bit scary and quite dangerous, you definitely need to listen to your gut on this one, don't push things too far. The ladders are cool to climb, a great picture but you have to be confident and even then you're not safe. Everything you do here like most places is at your own risk, be careful, respect it and you'll be fine. Do not push your luck.

Have you heard of Dorothea Quarry? Its a beautiful place to explore with plenty of old buildings and paths, I live 2 minutes from there and take my dog for a walk quite often 👍

[@barefoot_ventures]

Ooohhh no it doesn’t ring a bell, but I will definitely be having a Google .. I love anything like that! 😁😁 thankyouuuu!

[@geroldsss]

A very nice place Char and if you were there you can safely see "slate" with different eyes 😊 Such historical buildings are simply beautiful, we humans go through history but such buildings are history. The cave(s) are great, especially when you left the cave there was a lot of fern. The combination of slate and fern is beautiful 😄The ascent was exhausting but the view as you said was very nice and the reward. Thank you for showing us the great place! 🤗

[@barefoot_ventures]

Absolutely it is always worth the hike for a view like that! I love this place!

[@francdubois7832]

Great vid. BTW if you’re feeling fearful on lone hikes I highly recommend you carry with you one of those butane jet torch lighters. They emit a jet flame for about a foot, and can melt through metal in seconds. Excellent “weapons” for self defence, and entirely legal too. I bought one for all of my sisters, and they always carry them when on lone hikes.

[@barefoot_ventures]

Thankyou.. not sure I like the sound of that.. just have to hope I can run faster than them all 😝

[@francdubois7832]

@@barefoot_ventures 😂 it did sound a tad extreme, but since that Scottish KZbinr guy went missing on a hike / camp, I began carrying one to provide me with some self assurance. Oh and they’re great for lighting fires.

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.

[@barefoot_ventures]

Ahhhh Thankyou so much.. yes there’s soooo much to see around there isn’t there 😁😁

The views over the Bay are stunning Char. I loved the sheer faces of the slate quarry when you went through that tunnel. I believe the workers stayed at the quarry during the week and headed home weekends. I wonder how many had to live in each of those cramped terrace houses. I bet it was a cold, hard graft. As for letting people know. Spot on there. Any hike I do I forward a map and route to my better half with a last time past which she calls for help. You know what phone reception is like in some places. But as for the quarry, yep, best in pairs. Thanks for taking us along Char, really enjoyed it.

[@barefoot_ventures]

Ahhhh thanks chris.. I’m glad you enjoyed it! Always safer in pairs.. but not always possible or what you want but as long as we stay safe, it’s all good 😁

[@tonypilki3]

Do they do mountain/rock climbing up there? it looks very familier to one where I went to watch my daughter and boyfriend climbing with all the ropes. Lots of different tiers and tunnels here and there. it was an amazing place to explore, just cant remember its name. Thanks for sharing

[@barefoot_ventures]

Yep they do lots of different climbs here.. it’s a very exciting place 😁

[@WhipperdeetsAdventures]

Love going through old building too and wondering what history and secrets the building has ❤ Such a beautiful place, sometimes it’s good to be naught to see icy amazing places hidden gems ❤ Such a beautiful video thank you char for a lovely video and always showing hidden gems ❤

Ahhhh Thankyou.. I love stuff like this 😁😁

I wish I found this route when I went a few months ago, I clearly took the complete wrong way path and let’s just say I got my steps in that day lol

[@barefoot_ventures]

Yehh it’s a mad place. I spent all day here once .. climbing down the sketchy ladders .. up the walls .. the pulley systems. There’s sooo much to explore!

[@stuparry1]

@@barefoot_ventures I definitely need another visit, as I went and spent all day there in the clouds up too and missed out on so much but did see all the workers houses which was great. Love the video as always
