Path leading down to Llyn Nant-yr-arian Strangely, the OS don't name this significant area of water on any map (available to me). The Nant-yr-arian café is visible on the right. A haven after a bracing walk (or ride) in the hills hereabouts!

Llywernog Mine - Silver Mountain Experience This shows the large wheel-pit with the offices to the left and the crusher house to the right. The water wheel operated a Cornish pump in the mine shaft via a flat rod system. The mine operated predominantly as a lead mine but there was admixed silver that was worth recovering. The ore was argentiferous galena.

Llywernog Mine - Silver Mountain Experience This is the entrance to the top level of the mine on the guided tour. All the lower levels are flooded. At this point it was originally an open cut open to he sky but has been covered with a wooden and concrete ceiling. The tour leads you to the main shaft with the remains of the Cornish pump rising main and pumping rods. You then exit via the drainage adit that is still carrying water out of the mine and keeping the top level dry(ish).

Llywernog Mine - Silver Mountain Experience, Tangyes Special Pump A non-rotative steam pump by Tangyes of Cornwall Works, Smethwick. The 12" steam cylinder has a special self-acting valve gear and the only external moving parts are the piston road and a lever for starting the valve in motion if required. The nearby Evans Cornish pump is as very similar device. The site also has a little museum containing various steam pumps and winches. The foyer contains a horizontal tandem compound steam engine from a mill in Leek. This latter really has no connection with mining but has been there for a long time.
