CHILDREN UNDER 3 GO FREE & SPECIAL GROUP DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE

Descend deep underground and discover the world of the Welsh Slate Miner during the late nineteenth Century.

Meet "Sion Dolgarregddu" – the ghost of a young miner, and your guide through the Deep Mine. Sion was born in 1844 and was only 12 years old when he came to work at Llechwedd, with his father and uncle, in the vast chambers you will see during the tour.

Follow Sion as he leads you through winding tunnels and 10 "breathtaking" caverns that were once his work place. Listen to haunting music emerging from the ‘Caban', - as the story of his life unfolds - and your journey leads you deeper and deeper underground.

Imagine what it was like before electricity, without light, but for a few candles. This would have been an easy place to get lost, with over 25 miles of tunnels connecting underground chambers at Llechwedd alone – but today it is well lit and easy to navigate, and Sion knows the caverns well, having worked at the Quarry for over 50 years.

Be sure to soak up the atmosphere of the spectacular underground lake before arriving back to the surface - and daylight!

Available in Welsh, English, French and German: Please call in advance to book!

NB: After descending into the Deep Mine the tour is approximately half a mile long. This includes walking and descending 61 well-lit, grippy steps (left) - the train will meet you on a lower floor to take you back to the surface. However, in the busy season it may be necessary to walk back up 70 steps at the end of the tour to meet the train at a higher floor.
