Nobody ever seems to mention the Parys and Mona mines on Anglesey, yet they are much visited by caving groups from all over the country...

Awesome place, we did some filming with Extreme Archaeology there several years ago

They are mines, not caves, so you will find more discussion on places like mine-explorer or aditnow.

The Parys Mountain Mine was a superb trip! Although, what was not so good was the stinging feet and legs you get from the extremely acidic water you have to wade through (apparantly, there's a swim somewhere too if you're feeling particularly like exfoliating). I'd highly recommend a trip to Anglesey to any caving club looking for a mining weekend (perhaps combined with Croesor Rhossyd - one of the most fun trips I have ever done!)

There is a book......



THE CAVES AND MINES OF ANGLESEY by Tony Oldham  January 2006 ix + 57 pp, illus, surveys, 3 pages of colour photos.  Anglesey is overshadowed by the great Parys Mountain copper mine.  This book describes many of the smaller mines including the long forgotten coal mines at Berw.  Usual gazetteer style: name, national grid reference, description and references.  SB ?99.00 post free.
