Attractions / Activities
Bennar Beach
Attraction
Bennar’s fine, sandy beach is backed by the occasional sand dune. These sand dunes are of Special Scientific Interest, since they are constantly developing and therefore changing their environment.
Dyffryn Ardudwy, Gwynedd, LL44 2HD
Dyffryn Ardudwy Burial Chamber
Attraction
Neolithic tomb comprising two chambers of different phases, originally covered by a stone cairn.
Llanfair Slate Caverns
Attraction
The slate in this mine, which is found in veins between layers of ancient Pre-Cambrian rocks, is among the oldest in the world. Many industrial towns in Britain and Ireland have the original roofs made of Llanfair slate.
Pont Minllyn
Attraction
A narrow bridge crossing the Dyfi at Dinas Mawddwy. Built by Dr John Davies early in the seventeenth century.
Sygun Copper Mine
Attraction
A remarkable underground experience. Abandoned in 1903 but now reopened to visitors, Sygun tells the story of Victorian miners. Nowadays, it’s hard to believe that such gritty industrial heritage exists amongst so much natural beauty.
