Description

In this video, I'll explore Nant-y-Gadwen, a manganese mine situated off the Llŷn Peninsula coast near Aberdaron in rural North Wales. I'll tell you a little bit about the mine's history before heading over to the beautiful Porth Ysgo beach.

It was very windy on the day that I filmed, so please excuse the shaky camera work!

I hope you'll enjoy the video.
