Quite Challenging but Very Enjoyable

Stayed in a super pine cabin in woodland near Dolgellau for 4 nights. Really enjoyable locality. also useful for visits to Harlech (castle) where we went by train for 'two for one' entry tickets, to Aberdovey for its wonderful expanse of beach, Barmouth, Tywyn and wonderful waterfall + Talyllyn railway at Dolgoch. Driving a bit challenging in places but roads excellent. The journey and views from Bala to Llangynog very satisfying (If you don't mind sheep!!!)
An area of outstanding beauty, well worth a visit.

We stayed in Tremadog specifically with the intention of visiting Portmeirion (a village 10 minutes away) having no idea that they closed Portmeirion off in January! Tremadog is a fabulous and friendly little village next to the town of Porthmadog, it's nestled amongst the mountains and is only about a 15 minute car ride to the sea. The locals are extremely friendly and they have a good choice of restaurants, as does Porthmadog, but not in January as most close for the winter. You can follow the beautiful coastline to Llanbedr, Harlech where the castle stands proudly above the bay and onto Barmouth, another gorgeous town with a wide variety of shops and cafes, with their majestic railway bridge stretching out across the bay. Will we return, you bet we will.
