Let's Explore Halkyn Mountain - and what lies underneath!

I live here, me and my dog are regulars on the mountain, I first came here in 1971, and did a lot of research into the history of this bleak place. I really enjoyed this journey, and have subscribed. I look forward to more like this. Regards.

Oh wow! Thankyou! There's plenty more to come - I've got a busy autumn and winter planned.....

Great vid of a very obscure place, but very interesting to walkers, you know, I never thought this old place was that "interesting" & historic, yes, there is a working mine here, but the place is full of "interesting" things, well done John.

Glad you enjoyed it Someone once said to me that "If I look after the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves" My more successful videos are of obscure places. Thankyou for your kind words, I will do my best to build upon this!

Smashing stuff, the more videos uploaded around here the better and nice research.

[@GTexplores]

Such a lot of history, over thousands of years. The families that lived there were poor, back in the 19th century. Lead miners before 1900 usually died 15 to 20 years earlier than the average none miner. It was due to lead poisoning and also having bad lungs. Children were also sent down the mines from about the ages of 9 or 10. Thank you, for all your research in making this wonderful, interesting and informative video. Some amazing footage of Halkyn mountain and the surrounding areas. Really enjoyed seeing this ❤️🐾

The house my parents lived in until just 22 years ago had lead pipes. They would run the tap briefly before filling the kettle!

If you are in the area there are graves of airmen in St Michaels churchyard in Shotwick, Wirral killed whilst flying in the area.

[@GTexplores]

Thankyou - I've put Shotwick on my list! Shotwick Castle is already on my list in the hope that I can feature the remains of it in a planned video! GT

You're a good man, but it's a mountain get over it , you only need to feel the wind up here to know it!

[@GTexplores]

It's certainly a wild and rugged place up there on Halkyn Mountain! A whole world of difference to Prestatyn where I spend far too much time!
