Quarry Trail
BOOK YOUR VISIT
Pre-book your visit to start exploring a world of green living.
Climb up through sustainably managed woodland to discover spectacular views over the foothills of southern Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.
Our stunning Quarry Trail walk takes visitors high above the Visitor Centre to learn about CAT’s sustainable off-grid water systems, to discover our thriving biodiversity and to gaze down into the remains of Llwyngwern Quarry and the site’s industrial past.
Now home to waterfalls, woodland and wildlife, you can still see snapshots of industrial archaeology and quarrying equipment left over from when the CAT site was a working quarry. A little walk on from the view point, you’ll find a small slate structure that weighed the slate as it left the quarry.
Immerse yourself in the varied habitats of moorland heath, wildflower meadow and mature broadleaf woodland and learn about the dormice, tawny owls, lizards and woodpeckers that call CAT home.
Along the way, you’ll pass by CAT’s reservoir, the source of all of the water used on site. You’ll also learn about our eco filtration systems and how we make water safe to drink.
All three trails (short, medium and long) boast unique natural features and are steep and uneven in places so wear sturdy shoes and keep kids close.
