Agents Remarks - This property extends to 1.26 acres or thereabouts of land. The land is considered to be suitable for cattle, sheep and horses. Access to the parcel is gained across common land.

Location - The property is situated in a rural area on the outskirts of Y Fron. Y Fron is a small village on the south-west side of Moel Tryfan, overlooking the Nantlle Valley and Llyn Nantlle Uchaf. The village has a community centre called Canolfan Y Fron, which includes a cafe, shop and bunkhouse. The village attracts walkers throughout the year, who begin their venture towards Mynydd Mawr and thereafter towards Snowdon.

Directions - After travelling through the village of Y Fron from the direction of Rhostryfan or Carmel, take the left hand turning by the Hogan sign. Then travel uphill and over the cattle grid. Continue along the track for approximately 0.7 miles. Then it will be necessary to walk past Llyn Ffynhonnau and up through some of the common land to reach the parcel. A plan is included in these particulars of sale to assist prospective purchasers in identifying the parcel. Please follow the route shown in green.
