This entry serves as a general entry for Llanrwst Mine, and the marker does not represent any particular feature.

This was a large and prominent mine marked by an engine house chimney. Situated at Bwlch yr Haiarn. Three lodes were worked; the N-S Red and Ffridd Lodes, and the ENE-WSW Principal Lode.

There are a number of capped and locked shafts none of which are currently accessible. Most prominent is Endean’s Engine Shaft next to the old engine house. On a hillock to the south east is the capped Doctor’s Shaft. Just across the forest track to the east is the gated Shallow Adit and the capped Air Shaft. The capped Footway and Diagonal shafts are in the grounds of the Outdoor Centre. To the right of the road to the north, and just opposite the Vale of Conwy Level 2 adit is the gated Llanrwst Deep Adit. The adit is in an area of extensive surface workings, all overgrown, dangerous and fenced off.

To summarise the shafts:

Underground, both the New Shaft (an underground pumping shaft offset from Endean’s) and the Diagonal Shaft were intercepted by the Parc Mine Number 2 level, through which Llanrwst ore was to be extracted, but in the event was never utilised.

It is still possible to access some of Llanrwst from Parc No 2, via the New Shaft, although this may have deteriorated. See C. Cowdery link.

Although leased, none of the 20th-century companies re-opened Llanrwst.

Most shafts, all of which all are capped and locked, are in grounds of Outdoor Centre and access is not permitted. However a public footpath can be used to view some of the shafts.

The Deep Adit is next to a public footpath, is gated (probably locked) and reaches a run in area (1997) not far from the entrance.
