Beautiful UK seaside village 'besieged' by hundreds of cars as 'human poo left in fields'

Exasperated locals are up in arms after their was "besieged" by hundreds of over the Easter weekend. Locals living near Dinorwig Quarry in Caernarfon, a royal town in had no chance of a peaceful as they vented their annoyance - with some left too scared to even leave their homes.

Dramatic car-cam footage captured by a local shows a two-mile-long queue of double-parked vehicles stretching into the nearby village of Deiniolen. Once the second largest in the world, Dinorwig Quarry has surged in popularity in recent years with tourists flocking to the area to witness the beautiful landscape with Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peris at its heart. Worked on between 1787 and 1969, the quarry now hosts the Welsh National Slate Museum.

However, the area may be becoming a victim of its own popularity thanks to social media, as over the Easter weekend, the area turned into a car parking nightmare with numbers said to have been "unbelievable".

Fed up communities have pointed to mountains of litter and human faeces left in the adjacent fields, disrupting their quality of life.

Residents report that the influx of visitors during busy weekends has led to severe traffic jams, roads being clogged on busy weekends and unsafe parking on narrow access roads.

Safety concerns are mounting, especially on the access road, where blind bends and narrow sections are frequently blocked by parked cars.

Many locals are unaware of the 20mph speed limit and are often seen driving too fast, endangering pedestrians, livestock, and residents.

John Horrigan, a local living next to the quarry, described the scene as "like a giant anthill with people crawling all over it" and noted that many visitors admitted to coming because they had seen the quarry on TikTok.

He added: "There seems to be a view that just because a place has been on TikTok, people have a God forsaken right to go anywhere.

"The traffic there at the weekend was the worst I've ever seen."

The resident "counted more than 30 campervans" on Friday May 18 with many lighting fires.

In a bid to curb the ever increasing number of cars, locals are calling for a renewed look at parking restrictions - or even a new car park with toilets up on the mountain.

John said: "Something needs to be done here before it's too late. In two weeks time, if the sun shines on the next Bank Holiday weekend, we'll be facing this madness all over again."
