Where we are :
We are based at our traditional Welsh hill farm in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park where the Rhinog Mountains meet the sea in the beautiful picturesque village of Llanbedr, 2 miles from Harlech. We are only 40 minutes from the foot of Snowdon, and the same distance from Cader Idris, perhaps the second most well known mountain in the south of the National Park. We are also only 30 minutes from the world renowned National Mountain Bike Centre in the Coed Y Brenin Forest.
Being centrally based we have the best of both worlds, we have the better weather of the coast but can get quickly and easily to any mountain venue. The Rhinog Mountains behind us are far quieter and feel more remote than the frequented Snowdon area. For further details visit:

How to get to us :
The Village of Llanbedr is halfway between Barmouth and Harlech on the A496. You can also get here by train. But please note that Llanbedr's a request stop so be sure to tell the conductor you want to get off there.
