Property Description
Set in a stunning riverside location in over 2 acres of landscaped grounds, including a private pathway to Aberglaslyn Gorge, these lovely old cottages are only 6 miles from sandy beaches and close to many magnificent natural features of the Snowdonia National Park. Activities to enjoy include river fishing (on the doorstep, by arrangement) as well as walking, mountaineering, rock climbing, canoeing and bird-watching.
Sea fishing, sailing and swimming can be enjoyed from sandy beaches near the harbour town of Porthmadog (6 miles), which boasts two narrow-gauge railways – the Welsh Highland and the Ffestiniog – and a golf course nearby at Morfa Bychan, which also has a long, golden sandy beach with sublime views down to Harlech and up to the peaks of Snowdonia. Porthmadog also boasts a maritime museum, car museum, and a fascinating pottery.
Llanberis is home to the Mountain Railway terminus, from where trains make the 5-mile journey up the side of Snowdon, to the café at the summit. Nearby Beddgelert is an enchanting village huddled amidst some majestic mountain scenery, famous for the legend of Prince Llywelyn and his faithful hound.
Extravagant and Italianate Portmeirion is a short drive away near the Morfa Harlech nature reserve. The setting for ‘The Village’ in the 1960s cult TV series The Prisoner, endangered buildings from all over the world were broken down, transported and rebuilt, to create a wildly eclectic ensemble. Village pub/restaurant and shop 1½ miles in Beddgelert. Bangor 15 miles.
