It's built inside a hollowed out mountain - definitely worth doing the tour if you're in the area.
Edit: apparently Drax as well as many of the older plants can too.
- hirsin 4y agoSadly Dinorwig is closed with no sign of reopening soon. It sounds incredible to visit!
- jefftk 4y agoJust the visitor center -- the facility is still in operation, no?
- neon_electro 4y agoWikipedia doesn't appear to contradict that: "The power station was also promoted as a tourist attraction, with visitors able to take a minibus trip from "Electric Mountain" - the name of its nearby visitor centre - to see the workings inside the power station;[18][17] 132,000 people visited the attraction in 2015.[19] However, the centre is now closed with no prospect of reopening."
