The cottage has a great location on the edge of the historic mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, on a peaceful no-through road, with lovely walks from the front door. It is close enough to the town to easily access the local shops and services, but tucked away so that you feel you are in the countryside and can breathe deeply. Surrounded by Snowdonia National Park, Blaenau Ffestiniog is famously known as ‘the town that roofed the world’ due to its historical slate mining industry. Lesser known is that Manod slate quarry housed famous artwork from London’s National Gallery during WWII. Blaenau is home to the famous Ffestiniog steam railway and is fast becoming a centre for outdoor pursuits, boasting world class mountain biking, ZIP world adventures above and below ground, walking, fishing, climbing and lots more. Photographers will be in heaven with the magnificent landscapes, changing moods and romantic ruins. The town also has a cinema in the quirky & creative ‘Cell B’ venue and cafe, a swimming pool and a great chippy. With so much to do and explore on your doorstep, there is something for everyone in this stunning area of North Wales.
