Cwm Penmachno Slate Quarry Incline is a Post-Medieval industrial structure located in Conwy, Wales, associated with the slate extraction industry that flourished in North Wales during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The incline formed part of the infrastructure serving the slate quarry operations in the Penmachno valley, facilitating the transport of slate and materials along the steep terrain characteristic of the Welsh uplands. The surviving physical remains reflect the engineering solutions developed to overcome the geographical challenges of quarrying and moving extracted stone in a mountainous landscape. The site is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Welsh heritage designation system, recognising its significance as evidence of the region's industrial past.
