The Welsh Slate Museum at Llanberis has recently been relaunched following investment of a £1.6 million lottery grant, bringing back to life the inheritance of the North Wales slate industry which roofed the industrial revolution. The Museum building is sited in the Victorian workshops built in the shadow of Elidir mountain, site of the vast Dinorwig quarry.   Accommodation and Events There's a good choice of quality assured accommodation and often events in the area covered by the map below. About our location: Not so much a museum as a pocket of history, it is as though the quarrymen and engineers put down their tools and left the courtyard for home, just hours before. Now, with imaginative interpretation, the remarkable relics of the slate industry can be understood and enjoyed by the many thousands of visitors to this stunning countryside on the flanks of Snowdon. The lottery grant has made possible unique attractions and much-needed facilities to offer the visitor a day out without parallel in the richly-wooded lakeside landscape of the Padarn County Park. Located in the unique 19th Century workshops of the massive Dinorwig Slate Quarry, much is as it was when the quarry was being worked.     Reset Map Position Admission Special offer Adult price Free Child price Free Family price Free Concessions Free Opening Hours:   Facilities: Museum shop.
