Gwen

Welsh hill farm
Where we are :
We are based at our traditional Welsh hill
farm in the heart of the Snowdonia National
Park where the Rhinog Mountains
meet the sea in the beautiful picturesque village
of Llanbedr, 2 miles from Harlech.
We are only 40 minutes from the foot of Snowdon,
and the same distance from Cader Idris,
perhaps the second most well known mountain in the
south of the National Park. We are also only 30 minutes
from the world renowned National Mountain Bike Centre
in the Coed Y Brenin Forest.
Being centrally based we have the best of both worlds,
we have the better weather of the coast but can get
quickly and easily to any mountain venue. The Rhinog
Mountains behind us are far quieter and feel more
remote than the frequented Snowdon area. For further
details visit: www.snowdonia-holidays-llanbedr.co.uk
How
to get to us :
The Village of Llanbedr is halfway
between Barmouth and Harlech on the A496. You can also
get here by train. But please note that Llanbedr's
a request stop so be sure to tell the conductor you
want to get off there.
