Aberllefenni Slate Mines

Highlight • Settlement

On the banks of the Afon Dualas, below the hills just outside the southeastern border of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, is the small village of Aberllefenni. Built around the nearby slate mines, Aberllefenni's industry reached its peak in the 1890s, when around 190 men were employed here. When operations ceased in 2003, the mines enjoyed the title of the most continuously operated slate workings on the planet.
