🚶✨ Hiker’s Surprise Discovery in Gwynedd! ✨🏞️
On a picturesque walk near Corris Uchaf, adventurer Karolina, known as @outdoorswithkarolina on TikTok, set out to explore the captivating Welsh landscapes. What she found was more than she ever expected! While wandering past birch-lined paths at the Abercwmeiddaw Quarry, Karolina stumbled upon an intriguing abandoned building, sparking curiosity and adventure spirit. 🏚️🌳
But that wasn’t the highlight! As she followed the trail, she soon found herself at the stunning “binoculars tunnel” deep within the quarry. These unique twin tunnels, carved in the mid-1800s with early steam-powered machines, stretch 30 metres into the rock, resembling giant field glasses. 🤯🔭
Viewers of her TikTok video were left in awe, with many reminiscing about their own visits and admiring the breathtaking views. 🏞️ “It’s so lovely in Corris,” commented one viewer. Another shared, “My DNA is in Corris. My mam was born there.” These tunnels are not just a testament to Victorian ingenuity but also to the beauty that centuries of slate quarrying have left in their wake. 💬🗨️
Before you rush to admire these views for yourself, a word of caution: the site is not fully safe. ⚠️ Being a disused quarry, it requires extreme care. The surfaces can be slippery, and there might be hidden dangers like deep, cold water. Always heed safety signs and remember that visiting the tunnels is at your own risk.
Eager to explore? Keep Corris Uchaf in mind for your next adventure, but always be careful in nature’s playground. 🌲🚶♂️
