Welsh Slate is a type of metamorphic rock that is derived from the alteration of sedimentary rock, such as mudstone or shale. It has a distinctive blue-gray colour and a fine-grained texture, and often contains parallel layers or foliation resulting from the intense pressure and heat that the rock experienced during metamorphism.

It is an important building material in the UK, particularly in Wales, where it has been quarried for centuries. It has been used in the construction of many historic buildings, including castles, cathedrals, and homes, as well as for roofing and flooring.

Welsh Blue Slate is also valued for its durability and resistance to weathering, making it an ideal material for outdoor use.
