We are also close to the towns of Dolgellau and Machynlleth.

Machynlleth:
The ancient market town of Machynlleth with its interesting shops,
watering holes and historic buildings is worth a visit.
It has a wide main street dominated by an elaborate Victorian Gothic
clock tower erected in 1873 by the Marquess of Londonderry, whose
family home, Plas Machynlleth, lies in parkland nearby.
The foundation stone was laid on 15 July 1874 amid great festivities.
The town's colourful, bustling street market has been held in the
same street since 1291, and at the Celtica centre nearby, much more
of Wales Celtic Heritage can be experience. Machynlleth is also home
to the Mid Wales Museum of Modern Art and the Tabernacle Arts Centre.

Machynlleth is the heart of Wales, both geographically and
culturally. Owain
Glyndwr held the last Welsh parliament here in 1404.
It is well placed for visits to castles, nature reserves
and sandy beaches, country craft centres and narrow gauge railways.
Nearby are the Centre of Alternative Technology, the National Library
of Wales and the sailing centre of Aberdyfi.

Dolgellau: Dolgellau is a small market town situated at the
foot of the Cader Idris mountain range in south Snowdonia.
Dolgellau is best known as an area for quiet outdoor recreation, we have all the scenery, the mountains, forests, waterfalls and beaches, close to hand, but without the crowds.
Dolgellau is an excellent base for touring Snowdonia. There are many routes to the summit of Cader Idris and the Coed y Brenin forest is situated a few miles north.
