Location
Ty Uchaf is located in the stunning Nant Gwrtheyrn valley on the dramatic north coast of the Llyn Peninsula. Nant Gwrtheyrn is steeped in industrial and cultural history with the valley retaining a district charm due to its isolation and rugged beauty.

Whilst benefitting from its seclusion, Ty Uchaf is within a short drive of the village of Llithfaen which offers a local shop and public house. The market town of Pwllheli is 8 miles away and has a range of local and national retailers, restaurants and public houses. Whilst being located on the Llyn Peninsula, Ty Uchaf still offers easy access to the University City of Bangor, the A55 North Wales Expressway and the North Wales coast with links to the national motorway network. A direct train link from Bangor (30 miles) to London Euston takes approximately three and half hours.

Historic Note
Ty Uchaf farm extends over a large area of the Nant Gwrtheyrn valley which has been inhabited for millennia. The history of the valley is diverse, with the early history of farming and agriculture having been superseded by a focus on quarrying and mining. The sought after granite extracted from the quarries sustained a thriving community within the valley in the 18th and 19th Centuries. The quarry closed early during the Second World War and the community dispersed. In more recent years the former quarry settlement has been developed into a cultural hub and a renowned Welsh language educational and heritage centre.

Farmhouse
Ty Uchaf farmhouse lies in the valley floor which commands unrivalled views of the surrounding valley and Llyn Peninsula coastline.
