Mines of the Gwydyr Forest: Mining Ventures in the Heart of North Wales (Second Edition) This book was published as a series some 30 years ago.

The second edition combines all seven books and has been updated. It provides a history of metal mining in the Gwydyr Forest which is located immediate north of Betws-y-Coed, a popular tourist destination.

The book starts with an Introduction followed by a section on the geology and mineralisation. This is followed with examples of early mining in Gwydyr. Much of the more detailed mining information comes from the latter-half of the 19th century, and the following sections follow a similar format to the original series.The central areas, south and north, deal with Llanrwst and Hafna mines, respectively, plus related mines; North-East Gwydyr is primarily Parc mine and the plateau area to the south; North-West Gwydyr includes Pandora and the Llyn Geirionydd area; South-West Gwydyr includes the Cyffty and Coed Mawr Pool area; Aberllyn and adjacent mines are discussed in the section on South-East Gwydyr. The penultimate chapter covers the mines on the northern edge of the Gwydyr Forest, Cae Coch and adjacent mines. The book concludes with an Epilogue
