Hidden gems: Newly discovered caverns to be opened to the public
Two caverns that have never been seen by the public are to be opened up as part of an expansion at the historic Llechwedd Slate Quarry.

Staff at the attraction on the outskirts of Blaenau Ffestiniog had been unaware of the caverns’ existence since tours started in 1972.

They were discovered when an inquisitive worker went walkabout and discovered them intact, with tools still lying there left over from when mining stopped in the 1960s.

The caverns will be opened up in autumn 2014 as part of an expanded new Heritage Tour incorporating the attraction’s existing Deep Mines Tour.

I suspect that is slightly over-egging the truth.

However, if the public are able to go into the chambers, then that is good to hear.
