Looking over the dressing sheds.
Looking towards the chapel.
Time for a rest and admire the view.

Once a family home.
Time for the long climb, plays hell with your knees both going up and down.
Looking over the dressing sheds, this is where the slate was split and cut to size.

Once the stable for the ponies that pulled the slate wagons on the tramways.
The river emerging from under the waste slate. It dived underground almost at the top of the mountain.
Waterfall at the end of the valley. Fed from a lake at the top of the mountain.

When I first came up here you could walk across this bridge, however, over time it has been eroded away and is now dangerous.
Overflow from the small lake.
Small reservoir.
