Well done, Martin. You travelled over to my part of the world. I live about 10 minutes away. Not far away is the old copper mine at Parys Mountain. There is an underground group there who take adventurous people like you to see the mine workings. The whole site above ground is amazing to see with the great opencast that was used in a very old Doctor Who episode. I have an American friend who tries to come over each year. He is a descendant of the copper mines manager. The mining of copper goes back to Roman times but the more recent work happened in the 1800s. It's quite a story if you fancy following it up.

Great video! I love this place. I used to live a 15 minute walk away and I'd come for a walk here with my cat almost everyday after school. That's about 18 years ago now. I'm surprised to see the chimney hasn't completely fallen. The building with the eroded floor has got worse but it was always quite bad and there was a small marsh on the left of it with stepping stones which is how I got to the beach. The walk down to it can be very treacherous from the cliff top. When we get the weather here on Anglesey, with beaches like aberffraw, it's way better than being abroad. Thank you for this

@@MartinZero you really should! You probably know this but further along the coast is the old porcelain works. I used to go there a lot too but I always got an eerie feeling there. I read up that there used to be a ‘nuns home’ right next to the beach. Not a convent but a ‘nuns home’. Unless it was some kind of slang for a ‘lady of the evening’s home. The previous owner of the house I lived in was a ship captain so I just assume he was associated with the porcelain works. My house used to be a morgue and the house next to us was a leper colony. Make of that what you will!!!

Nice video and drone shots of a favourite place of ours - a friend used to live nearby (I live in Manchester near Cornbrook, which is how I found this video). If you take care you can climb up to the cast iron 'thing' at the top (which I think you thought was a winch) which is a stone crusher, and which I think started the processing of the rock at the bottom of the quarry incline, from where the crushed stone travelled down through those gravity chutes. It has a poem (!) cast into the side of it, reminding workers how to keep it working properly. The coastal path from Llanbadrig church (also worth a look when it is open) is a really nice way to arrive here, and you can make a circular walk out of it and go back via the (small) road. A lovely day out, and there are more industrial remains half-way along the coast path and a wartime observation post too.
