点评:I've visited the mines before, a number of times. An opportunist moment to show my very significant other some Welsh history and a real slice of life evidenced by many examples in Welsh society and millions of slate roofs across the UK, Europe and beyond.
The mines have changed, I guess they should. They are now home to underground golf, zip lines and the 'deep' mine tour.
Parking on site is not easy unless you head up to the parking for the zip wire area, apparently, the whole area is now zip wire.
You will see two buildings on arrival, one clearly under construction, all good, the other, home to a gift shop, someone who meets and greets then directs to iPads , fill in the forms where you waive your right to sue if you die, or just break your leg. Pass through the tills, confirm email address, pay for whichever option you choose, we chose the deep mine tour. Passing large 100v line loudspeakers pumping out what passes for music en route to the train building, we were treated to a slate splitting display, done quite well too, then some history and then off back past the blackpool-esque sound system, not a kiss-me-quick hat in sight. Into the old level 3 entrance and slope off below the ground. Twists and turns, lots of steps, slate quality increasing as we go deeper. More wonderful history, take a head torch, I did, came in useful. I'll not spoil this experience with further waffle, just to say it's worth visiting, still a man ving experience. It's not as it was, there are some surprises but be prepared for the under 28 experience which threatens to eclipse the real and valid reason for the slate mines which, just for the sake of footfall and money is quite sad..
Oh, wait..
Perhaps the market is changing.
翻译:我以前去过矿井,好几次。这是一个向我的另一半展示威尔士历史和真实生活的机会,威尔士社会的许多例子和英国、欧洲及其他地方的数百万石板屋顶就是明证。
矿井已经改变了,我想它们应该改变。它们现在是地下高尔夫球场、高空滑索和“深”矿之旅的所在地。
现场停车并不容易,除非您前往高空滑索区域的停车场,显然,整个区域现在都是高空滑索。
抵达后,您会看到两栋建筑,一栋显然正在建设中,一切都很好,另一栋是礼品店的所在地,有人会迎接您,然后指引您使用 iPad,填写表格,放弃如果您死亡或摔断腿的起诉权。通过收银台,确认电子邮件地址,支付您选择的任何选项,我们选择了深矿之旅。在去往火车站的路上,我们经过了大型 100v 线路扬声器,那里播放着音乐,我们欣赏了石板分裂展示,也做得相当不错,然后是一些历史,然后我们又经过了布莱克浦式的音响系统,看不到一顶吻我快帽子。进入旧的 3 级入口,沿着斜坡进入地下。曲折蜿蜒,有很多台阶,我们越往深处走,石板的质量就越高。更多精彩的历史,带上头灯,我带了,很有用。我不会再用废话来破坏这次经历,只是想说它值得一去,仍然是一次男人的体验。它已经不像以前那样了,有一些惊喜,但要为 28 岁以下的经历做好准备,这可能会掩盖石板矿的真正和正当理由,仅仅为了人流量和金钱,这是相当可悲的。哦,等等。也许市场正在改变。
