    Fab tour 500 ft underground in the old mine workings, in one of the steepest inclined trains in the world. Children were transfixed by the stories of the Welsh miners and the way they had to live and work. Then took the other tour a mile or so horizontally into the mountain on another train to see how the slate was extracted and processed. Amazing that the place is also still a working mine after 160 years.

    Llechwedd Slate Caverns are definitely worth a visit if you're anywhere near the area. Gives you a better understanding of the landscape and the people too! Some absolutely stunning light displays and intriguing stories! The Victorian village was fun as well-especially the Miners Arms!

    PS This is meant to be a top 10 attractio ...
