There is a Hendre Quarry at Glyn Ceiriog that worked a large intrusion of altered dolerite - it's quite an impressive sight with some high faces although heavily overgrown in places.

Just a word of warning on this.
Re fires or cooking stoves.
Hot air rises and can dislodge material from a roof, and if the roof is high it can be fatal.

This describes the issue and consequences fairly well:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/5114591/Teenager-killed-on-camping-trip-after-cave-collapse-is-named.html
