Local directions to Wenallt. Parking at rear of house.

 

Centrally located for touring the Snowdonia National Park and the Llyn peninsula, Wenallt is near the centre of Penrhyndeudraeth village but elevated enough to enjoy views towards the Dwyryd estuary and the Rhinog mountains behind Harlech.
Wenallt is less than 2 miles/3km from the Italianate fantasy village and gardens of Portmeirion, setting for the cult 60s TV series The Prisoner. The world-famous Ffestiniog narrow-gauge steam railway also runs near the house, with its Penrhyn Station just a few minutes’ walk away. For garden lovers, the little-known Plas Brondanw, created by Clough Williams-Ellis of Portmeirion fame, is 2 miles/3km away. Ospreys have returned to the area to breed and the RSPB's information and viewing area (free entry) is nearby at Pont Croesor (2 miles/3km). From June 2010 it will be possible to board the recently extended Welsh Highland narrow gauge steam railway at Pont Croesor to Beddgelert and Caernarfon.

Penrhyndeudraeth is a large village in the scenic Vale of Ffestiniog with good local services including a Post Office/newsagent, free-to-use cashpoint, chemist, doctor's surgery, café, excellent Indian Restaurant, two pubs, a convenience store, good public transport links with a main line railway station (on the Shrewsbury to Pwllheli route) buses, and the Ffestiniog railway all within walking distance. Porthmadog, our nearest town, (3 miles/5km) has shops, restaurants and cafés and a Tourist Information Centre. The pretty mountain village of Beddgelert is 7 miles/11km, castles and beaches at Harlech and Criccieth both 8 miles/13km. A little further afield are Bodnant Garden, Penrhyn Castle and Plas Newydd (all NT), slate caverns and museums at Llechwedd and Llanberis and Mount Snowdon itself.

Walkers and cyclists are welcome. For those exploring the area by bicycle we have a lockable bike shed. Undercover car parking is available for our guests, also ideal if you are touring by motorcycle.
