About National Slate Museum

The National Slate Museum is not so much a museum as a pocket of history.

Slate-splitting demonstrations by craftsmen reveal the skills and artistry of generations of quarry workers. One of the friendly craftsmen slice the slate in front of your eyes, and he might let you have a go!

Every day there are an array of walks, talks and demonstrations on offer giving you a real insight into quarry life.

With imaginative interpretation, children and adults alike can enjoy the remarkable relics of the slate industry.

Travel through time in Fron Haul where a row of four quarrymen's houses that recapture significant periods from the slate industry. See the water powered machinery in motion that made the tools for quarrying slate, and the magnificent Waterwheel that gives them life - the largest on the British mainland.
