    This week we take you back to North Wales, this time to the lake side town of Llanberis where we visit the National Slate Museum at the foot of the mighty Dinorwic Quarry, once home to the maintenance and production workshops for the Quarry it now offers a fascinating insight into the past to discover how the industry shaped the area from the mid 19th century.
    We then take you for a ride down some of the original Quarry railway which took
    the finished slate down to the nearby port.
    The journey takes you past the 13th century Dolbadarn Castle, across possibly Britain's shortest river and past Llanberis' twin lakes. From Llanberis the train runs non-stop through the Padarn Country Park, joining the 1845 slate railway route to run along the shores of Lake Padarn to Penllyn, and giving stunning views of Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales.

    Huge memory recall for me. I visited when I was a teen, staying at the end of the line with the loop back in the late 70's. Actually saw the line from a canoe on the lake 😂 It looks great and I need to find an excuse to visit again. Thanks for the reminder!

      Definitely worth a day out, so much to see and even more if you take a walk off the beaten track.. we're hoping to return ourselves in the near future as we barely scratched the surface.. Thanks for watching 👍

    What great scenery. It looks like Finley had a great time. Please correct me if I spelt his name wrong as it niggles me when someone spells my daughters name wrong. Thank you all for a wonderful video.

      Thanks for watching! Really glad you enjoyed it, we had a lovely day out. Yes his name is spelt Finley but he often gets it spelt with 'ay' at the end.. His Dad was Scottish so he wanted a strong Scottish name and Finley is what he got lol. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment, it's very much appreciated 😊 👍

    Hi - we are looking at going here in the holidays - what would you say the space in the carriages was like? I'm very tall but have mobility issues so often need to "stretch out". Loved the video - thanks for sharing!

    • @ExploringWithEmAndStu
      @ExploringWithEmAndStu  20 днів тому

      I would say they are quite spacious and you should have room to stretch out, Stu is 6'3 and had plenty of room. You should get a compartment to yourselves but be aware from my memory the journey was a little bumpy especially on the wooden seats but your not really in them for long periods of time..
      We had a lovely afternoon with beautiful views and plenty of history to find around the area.. Definitely worth the money. We're actually back in the area again in 2 weeks for more exploring and can't wait! 😊
