Bwlch Glas Mine

Bwlch Glas translates to ‘blue gap’. It was worked between 1889 and 1923, peaking in around 1910.

There are some minor remains on the surface of this mine, but typically little more than concrete blocks and building remnants.

There are several good, if a little terrifying explorations of the mine on the 28dayslater urbex website.
