Known as the National Slate Museum, this is now a heritage centre sited in the Victorian workshops of the former vast Dinorwig Quarry, which was closed in 1969.
Visitors can watch slate-splitting demonstrations and take a fascinating tour of the workshops,
iron and brass foundry, forges, and loco shed.
The museum also includes the largest working waterwheel in mainland Britain, and a row of four original quarrymen's houses rescued from demolition.
