The thing in North Wales is indeed connected with the HEP in the mountain. It's a breather hole for the massive pipes between Llyn Marchlyn Mawr at the top, and Llyn Peris at the bottom. And no, I doubt falling down it would do you any good at all…

Underwater Volcano in The Wash

Strangely that appears on my (older) 1:50k OS mapping, but not the newer stuff available on the web.

@pook: I think that's just a railway tunnel ventilation shaft – there's a railway disappearing into the hillside to the west…

yes, that's one of the Totley tunnel air shafts.

carbon337, I assume that's a photoshop job?

Edit: it's not 😆

I know, I shimmed up the side once and looked in. It's terrifying – more so when I realised I was on a one brick width wall looking into a 400ft shaft.
