Henllys Vale 2025

The valley of the Afon Twrch was home to industry in times past. Follow the old tramway to see an impressive brick chimney which is virtually all that remains of Henllys Colliery. Nearby are a bank of four massive limekilns with Interpretive panel installed. A tramway led northwards up to Cefn Carn Fadog from where the limestone was quarried.

The colliery opened in 1898, and in 1904, 104 men were employed here, but the company rapidly declined, in 1906 it was offered at auction and restarted as the New Anthracite Company Ltd but closed during the First World War due to a lack of manpower.
