It is sensitive. There is no official access, and anyone caught there is most certainly not welcome.

Originally a very sensitive location though pictures of it are appearing everywhere, it happens. It's a big mine, lots to see, it's unrealistic to think people wont visit and tell others about it

Not a good thing however, then we get newbies wondering in who aren't equipped, potentially an accident happening, which as well as an injury could mean the place being sealed off permanently, not a good thing. I think the owners threatened to seal it off it someone was caught in there again, though that was years ago

There are of course responsible people like most of us on aditnow 🙂

As has been said, it is a very sensitive site, not least of all as the highest level workings are being un-topped using explosives...you would *not* want to be in the mine when that's happening :confused:

Plenty of other interesting mines to readily see in the area though if you havent explored around there already-Cwmorthin, Wrysgan, and so so many more 😉

The entrance may well be sealed with a pile of slate waste.

Greaves are working the pillars in the chambers in the quarry above and the work will cause problems with stability in the chambers underneath, so they are distinctly less than keen on people being in there.

Similarly, there has been a lot of theft from the mills and as a result security is tighter than usual.

The mine is sealed with slate waste blocking the adit.

Disclaimer: Mine exploring can be quite dangerous, but then again it can be alright, it all depends on the weather. Please read the proper disclaimer.
