  1. The once top-secret abandoned bomb facility hidden in an old slate mine. Llanberis Bomb Store, Wales.

    In January 1942, the roof collapsed burying 14,000 tonnes of bombs (14% of Britain's stock). It took until the 1970s to fully clear the site of bombs and make it safe.

    Today, the Bomb Store is little more than an overgrown concrete skeleton. Occasionally it is possible to venture inside!

  7. A rarity in Welsh and British history, Dolbadarn is a fine example of both a native-built Welsh castle and one possessing a round keep rather than the usual square.

    Set against the spectacular backdrop of two lakes and the Snowdonia mountains, Dolbadarn must rank among the most underrated of all Welsh castles. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

  12. The #Beauty of #Wales, some #Photos of the lake in #Llanberis, the lower reservoir lake of #Dinorwig pumped power station, one of the most important power plants in #UK. The lake is called #LlynPadarn, it is linked to another lake #LlynPeris, which is the lower reservoir mentioned.
    Llanberis is the starting point of the steam locomotive that goes up to the summit of mount #Snowdon in #Snowdonia. In summer this area is overrun by tourist, the climb the summit or take the train up, many of the hikers climb up in #FlipFlops, which is really dangerous and stupid. I have walked some part to the summit, from a point a bit higher than Llanberis, and I saw lots of bloody toes and feet at that time.

    It is a nice area, if you ever get a chance or are close you might want to consider a detour, I'd prefer to come off peak season, so maybe start/end of the season.
