Alltwyllt Slate Quarry Incline is a Post Medieval and Modern transport structure located in Meirionnydd, Wales, serving the slate extraction industry that characterised the region from the eighteenth century onwards. The incline represents the mechanical infrastructure developed to move slate from quarry workings to processing and distribution points, employing gravity-assisted systems typical of Welsh slate quarry operations. The structure dates to the period when Meirionnydd was a significant centre of slate production, with quarries operating intensively throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth centuries. As a recorded scheduled monument under Cadw's protection, the incline survives as material evidence of the industrial heritage and engineering solutions adopted in the slate industry of North Wales.
