Local Attractions
With just so much to do, so much to see in Snowdonia there really is something for everyone!
From the campsite, you can head down to the Mawddach estuary within just 5 minutes; with fabulous views all the way, you can walk, cycle or even paddle to the historical market town of Dolgellau, the coastal village of Fairbourne and the famed town of Barmouth. The local pub is only 30 minutes walk down the Mawddach trail where you can enjoy food and drink with stunning views of the estuary!
There is also a lovely mild circular walk right above the farmhouse which passes above the estuary and round for fabulous landscape scenes, there are a couple of turn offs along the way which lead to a small lake or down to the estuary.
Fantastic walks such as the Panorama, the Precipice & the New Precipice are all within a short drive as is the famous Cader Idris, the second highest peak in Wales after Snowdon (which itself is only an hours drive away).
Creggenan Lakes deserves a special mention, a renowned beauty spot with unparalleled views over the lakes & coast with walks all around. Other water based gems include Arthog Falls, the Blue Lagoon & Bala Lake.
If cycling is your thing, Coed Y Brenin Mountain Biking Centre has world class trails as well as a visitor centre, cafe and walking paths too! Road Biking is also very popular with long, winding smooth roads all throughout the mountains.
A casual walk around the campsite and through our forest is a beautiful experience in itself, with a whole host of natural sights and diverse wildlife - Glowworms, Badgers, Owls... not to mention star gazing at its best!
