That's a good try Hollins and I can see why you thought it was the Llanberis Slate Museum but it's not correct.     These tracks lead to something more sinister        :o

Is it an explosive or ammunition store ?    just noticed, that is a very short track, for loading and unloading , and why is the arch wider at the top?  big horses ? heavy loads ?

At least you are on the right track steve even if it was only a short track.      I''ve attached a side view of the building plus more photos of other things that are on site

He is already planning a visit and says well done for a very interesting quiz question.

How about this one, anyone know where this is?

No, sorry Hugo.
Keep going North. There are two of these and they mark the entrance to this place.

Once you are through the gateway, this is what you might see.

There's a place in the distance that might may you think you were in Scotland but actually it is much closer to home.
