In the heart of Snowdonia since the 1830s when John Whitehead Greaves came to North Wales to make his fortune. They started out mining the very best slate in the world – which found its way from Germany to Argentina – creating an amazing man-made landscape which is now a World Heritage Site.
The best thing is that all this is amid some of Wales's most beautiful natural mountains and moorland. Still a family business, the 2000-acre site is now known for the hotel and glamping, green energy, walks, downhill bike tracks, zip lines and, of course, the unique underground adventure playground situated in the mine started all those years ago.
An opportunity awaits us with a visit to this unique hotel and it's beautiful setting - we will visit the underground slate mines that house the 'Snowdonia Cheese' company supplies as well as the Victorian Hydro Electric building and it's workings during our visit and tour of the grounds, with a variety of accommodation that keeps the hotel busy throughout the year.
