the area

The valley of Cwmystradllyn is renowned for its remoteness and natural beauty and is situated just to the north of Tremadoc and Porthmadog. From the cottage there are numerous walks over the Mynydd Gorllwyn mountains to the east where you can view the entire estuary and Harlech castle beyond and, a little to the north, Llyn Cwmystradllyn and the vast glacial valley.  At Porthmadog you will find an abundance of shops from small craft outlets to the larger supermarkets like the Co-op and Tesco. There is also a mainline railway station and a narrow gauge train that will take you through the breathtaking Vale of Ffestiniog to the slate-mining centre of Blaenau Ffestiniog and, in the other direction, eventually to the north coast at Caernarfon. The nearby coastline is peppered with fascinating and sheltered small inlets as well as the broad stretches of golden sands towards Harlech in the south and Criccieth to the north. The entire area is steeped in history and interesting things to do and see, superb restaurants, and a people who have not forgotten the art of conversation and the meaning of friendship.
