It was part of Penrhyn Quarry just beyond Bethesda. on the banks of Afon Ogwey which runs through the Nant Ffrancon Valley emptying out into Afon Menai (The Menai Straits).
What an amazing place and so substantial - incredible to think hidden and secret places like this still exist in Britain today - what an enchanting place it must have been to explore 🙂
It really was amazing! Just wish we had more places like this abit closer to home but we'll definitely be back over that way in the future to hunt for more! Thanks again for watching, always appreciated 👍😊
Amazing to think a family used to live in that house love the vid thank you hope your both doing well good to know your channel is growing makes me happy.
Thanks Rob.. the atmosphere around these places is amazing, knowing that once so many people lives up there and now it's just abandoned.. Thanks for commenting, we are both good thanks, nearly at the 5K mark now which still blows us away.. Hope you're keeping as well as you can 😊
It's a truly magical place and so much more there than we had time to explore unfortunately.. We really loved Wales and must return again some day.. Thanks for watching 👍😊
Oh wow!! this place looks stunning! I might have to check this out when I'm in the area. You're looking very Indiana Jones for this one Stu and Em definitely Lara Croft vibes...
@@mcmarky1985 Thanks, I'll definitely take being compared to Lara Croft as a compliment and Stu is a fan of Indiana Jones so I don't think he'll mind that one either lol! This place was amazing and like nothing else we'd come across before.. so glad we stumbled across it.. Thanks for watching 👍😊
What a bit of luck stumbling onto a place like that! Do you know when the buildings would originally have been built? 18th or 19th century? It all seems quite haphazard; buildings scattered all around the place. It would be good to see a picture of what it would have looked like in its heyday with people and horses coming and going. I'm sure that whole layout would become a lot clearer and make more sense. I guess there are too many trees for Stu to fly the drone in to look at some of the more dangerous areas. I look forward to hearing if you find out anything more about the place, there must be records somewhere. An enjoyable watch to go with my evening cuppa! Cheers guys…
Oh I'm not sure we did.. really needed so much more time to explore around here as there was definitely so much more to find.. We did look up all the history later which was quite fascinating. Just a shame its a 6 hour drive from us.. Thanks for watching 👍
We visited recently and did not come across the fountain. However after a further bit of research have found images of it in era and have a rough location. Was it in a particularly overgrown area when you saw it?
Hello there like your video very organised I am a paranormal investergater and run my own team from greater Manchester and love to do a paranormal investigation would you help with the location please
That's would have certainly made more sense as around the other side where we couldn't get to there were some remains of tiled walls we'd heard had been showers but like I said in the video we'd read so much contradicting information we were quite sure what was actually true.. Thanks for commenting and clarifying that for us Stu 😊👍
@russell-di8js With only having limited information on the day as to what we may have found in the area and having carried out some more research when we returned back home, we do believe we likely confused some of the buildings.. The second structure we looked at was apparently the original gatehouse with stables and probably the chapel was the building to the rear.. of course these were all adapted over the years for quarry use so identifying their original use with limited prior information wasn't easy especially as we live in Norfolk where almost all our churches are medieval so our knowledge of Welsh Chapels is limited.. Hopefully we can return in the future with more information and a better look around..

It's Afon Ogwen which has its main source in Llyn Ogwen beside the A5 road from Bettws-y-Coed to Bangor.

Talysarn Hall and remains of the village, did you find the remains of the ornamental fountain? It’s worth finding.

Hi! Do you have any more information on how to get here/ find this place? Thanks much 😊
Spoon fed?

them so called dog kennals were workers homes hence the chiminey

if you get the grid refferance @@ExploringWithEmAndStu shud be able to find out more online or old ordenice survay maps
Definitely not a Welsh chapel, & to say it looks like many others in the North sounds deluded to this North Walian.
