Activities and the seaside!

Even though we are situated at the edge of Snowdonia National Park, we are also less than 20 miles from the coast. Llandudno, a Victorian seaside resort is a mere 45-50 minute drive away and is well worth a visit.

OR you can head to the lesser known Llyn Peninsula (a hidden gem is the little seaside village of Borth-y-Gest).

The Brenig and Alwen reservoirs are only a few miles away from our cottages. Brenig Reservoir is popular for water sports, fishing, cycling, walking and bird watching. There is also a cafe and excellent adventure playground. 

Bala lake is 10 miles away and is also very popular for water sports.

Ty Cerrig Cottage and Ty Cerrig Barn are near to the town of Corwen (which is about fifteen minutes from Llangollen) whereas Gwynfryn is further along the A5, in Cerrigydrudion, fifteen minutes from Betws-Y-Coed (be sure to visit the magnificent Swallow Falls waterfall!). Both places are approx. 30 minutes from Snowdon itself.

And if you feel your pooch may need a little more training, we can't recommend Kelford enough (based very close to us in Betws Gwerfil Goch): https://www.kelford.co.uk/why-choose-kelford/

If you have teens in tow, a trip to Zip World at Bethesda and Blaenau Ffestiniog should be high on the agenda. Stretching 1 mile long, the 500ft-high thrill ride is cited as Europe's longest zip line, and is also the fastest in the world. And if that isn't enough, there's the National White Water Centre at Bala, and https://www.zipworld.co.uk/location/conwy
