At one time, the Welsh village of Talysarn was home to workers and industrial buildings from the old Cambrian slate mines, mines which put roofs over the heads of countless thousands of people in the 19th century and which still last to this day.
But as the slate quarries grew, the decision was made to abandon the old village and move its 2000 residents to a new one, back in 1927. But the old village remains, houses and all, now overgrown and consumed by the nature around it.
The eerie sights of old dwellings and industrial buildings has even been called the ‘Welsh Angkor Wat’, reports WalesOnline, after the world famous Cambodian monastery complex visited by millions every year.

Found just over 100 miles from Manchester, in North Wales, not far from Caernarfon, the spot has become a hotspot for explorers keen to see this eerie and abandoned village, a snapshot in time now fascinatingly overgrown.
Among the sights to take in is a towering Cornish ‘beam engine’, a type of steam engine which would have replaced the old water wheels powering the old mills. The huge building, with the old machinery at the top, is a fascinating look into the past for walkers.
