Blue
The "Quarryman's Trail" is a long walk exploring the old mine workings of Bryn Eglwys Quarry.The trail follows the river to the Cantrybedd incline before climbing out of the woods and wandering through the quarry waste and diggings, past the mill workings and descending along the old tramway and the steep Alltwyllt incline back to the station. Look out for the wind up sound stores along the trail telling the story of the slate mining in the Bryn Eglwys Quarry.
How to get there:
Blue can be started from Nant Gwernol in Abergynolwyn which is part of Dyfi. Abergynolwyn is the nearest town or village.
Take the train on the Tal-y-Llyn railway from any of its stations between Tywyn and Abergynolwyn. Or park in the village of Abergynolwyn and take the short but steep walk to the station from behind the Community Centre/Cafe.
