Basecamp 2 - Snowdonia Slate Trail Adventure

The Snowdonia Slate Trail takes a step back in time to when North Wales was the centre of the Slate Trade. Covering 83 miles the trail visits some of the less-frequented but beautiful parts of Snowdonia, passing through all the major mountain ranges, offering a range of experiences from mountain to forest, lake to river, from the valley to the sea. For this adventure, we join the Slate Trail at Blaenau Ffestiniog to discover the industrial heritage remaining on the quarries of Diffwys and Rhosydd. Hiking over 15 miles we discover abandoned Mills and the remains of quarrymen's barracks high in the mountains all surrounded with the beautiful scenery of the Snowdonia National Park.
