About Quarryman's Trail
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. Why not download the MP3 Audio Trail?
