Information

Bryn Cenhadon was one of the many lead mines on the Gwydir Estate and is located on the river just north of Llyn Geirionydd. There are workings above the waterfall, as shown here, and also on both banks of the Afon Geirionydd in the ravine below the waterfall. The mine is mentioned in Robert Hunt’s 1873 Mineral Statistics of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
