Cwmorthin Slate Quarry: Water leat (Public)

The far ends of the Back vein were drained out through the Lake Level adit - this is one of the leats that the water flowed through. Nowadays, the way to the adit is blocked by a fall and the water instead drains out via the back vein and the Oakeley drainage system.
