Llanberis War Storage facility for Ammunition

An amazing place. Went there about 20yrs ago with a bunch of climbing mates exploring the place. If you only knew how vast it is!!! Quite a bit of it was blocked off after the war....some of the guys knew ways around through natural faults in the rock. Those lifts go to different levels but I wouldn't recomend them. Takes me back, shame no vid can do it justice. Does anyone know if the freedom of information legislation would mean plans might now be available!!!!

An amazing place. My grandfather worked there with the bomb disposal team after the war, having been a quarryman beforehand. The slate quarry where this is located is dangerous enough as it is, but with 1000s of tonnes of explosives lying about (especially after the place collapsed) it's hard to imagine how it must have felt to do his job!

Wow, nice to see the old place again. I lived near here in the 60's /1970's when the army were clearing it out. As a 10 year old we'd sit on hill overlooking the main quarry (when summers were hot), and watch them pull load after load of bombs, grenades, mortars, rockets and ammunition of every size and shape out of those tunnels. That quarry floor was always covered from end to end in mounds of the stuff. You could find tail fins everywhere :o) If only our parents knew where we were!!!

It's a huge site - a lot of it has gone now. Some of the locals aren't even aware that the place exists!
