Our Self Guided Tour starts with a video presentation on how slate is mined, before it is delivered to our works. A taped commentary then lets you wander at your own pace through the workshops. You can see the machines in action and the craftsmen at work. Our Historical exhibition gives an interesting insight into the development of the slate industry and of Inigo Jones in particular. Educational Lettercutting and Calligraphy exhibitions also form part of the tour.
Children can compete in our quiz to win a slate prize.
