There are beautiful walks at the quarry with views of snowdonia & waterfalls. Some of the walks/hikes can be more advanced and are not recommended for small children or elderly. There is also a cafe and the national slate museum to visit.

The Dinorwig quarry is a large former slate quarry, nominated for Unesco World Heritage status.

The chapel played an important part of the lives of the quarrymen as it provided a centre for the community, a place to meet.
