The Manor is ideally placed at the foot of the Talyfan mountain, surrounded by the forests, rivers, mountains and lakes of the Snowdonia National Park.
If you like to walk this is the place for you, from the Manor you can walk to the summit of the Talyfan mountain at an easy pace in 2 hours.
The views are stunning, you will almost certainly see wild Welsh mountain ponies and in the spring new born foals. The higher mountains (over 3000 ft ) are a bit further down the valley.
The Gwydir forrest is a fantastic place to explore on foot with marked routes dedicated to walkers. We are within easy reach of the major tourist attractions and just 5 minutes drive to the sandy beaches of the Conwy coast.
