A Ruined Village

DSC_0880 Moel yr hydd is a mountain near Snowdon. It's surrounded by a deserted village, a slate quarry that was founded in 1830 and closed in 1946.

The mine village is stark and slowly decaying back into a pile of rocks.

There's a poem, in Welsh on the walk into the village. It says, roughly, we lived here, had a school, a church, a village, and now it's gone.
