Location
Bontddu is a village situated half way between the market town of Dolgellau (approx. 5 miles) and the seaside resort of Barmouth.

The ancient market town of Dolgellau sits within an area of outstanding natural beauty set in the Southern Snowdonia National Park, at the foot of the Cader Idris mountain range. Dolgellau is an excellent base for walkers and outdoor pursuits. The town provides a small cottage hospital, primary & secondary schools, a tertiary college as well as restaurants, pubs, library, rugby & cricket clubs and is within 10 miles of the coast and 6 miles of a main line railway station.

The picturesque seaside town of Barmouth is located on the West Coast of North Wales and lying between a mountain range and the sea on the mouth of the river Mawddach, is arguably one of the most beautiful locations in Wales. The town itself offers an array of restaurants, pubs, cafes and local independent shops. The surrounding countryside provides superb opportunities for outdoor/water activities.
