Take paths or train up Yr Wyddfa - Snowdon from this former slate miner's cottage in the small village of Clwt y Bont, 4 miles from Llanberis and 7 miles from the walled town and stunning castle at Caernarfon. This cottage is in an ideal location for outdoor activities, take ancient paths to the lakeside of Llyn Padarn, ideal for wild swimming, or cycle from the door over to Llanberis, or make a short drive or bus ride to footpaths up Yr Wyddfa - Snowdon. The beaches of Anglesey can be reached in about 30 minutes. Zip World Velocity, the fastest zip wire in the world, is 10 miles away. Great location for family activities, and for small children a handy play ground opposite!
