Access
The property is accessed from the B4405 at Abergynolwyn, the public road running through the village from the coast at Tywyn. From the road a track runs some 2.66 km
over neighbouring land to the western boundary, climbing from the valley onto the hill and giving the farm a real sense of seclusion while keeping it within a short distance of the village. Farm tracks then run on to the buildings, the enclosed fields and the open hill above.

Description
Hendrewallog Farm is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial upland farm of approximately 188.3 hectares (465 acres) in the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. The land rises from about 200 to 650 metres above sea level on the hills above Abergynolwyn and comprises enclosed in-bye pasture, rough grazing and open hill, with far-reaching views.

The farm has been run with sheep and cattle. The lower ground is a series of enclosed fields bounded by traditional stone walls and stock fencing, giving way to open hill above. The holding is served by a modern general-purpose shed and traditional stone and timber buildings set within shelter planting, offering scope for continued agricultural use or, subject to planning consent, conversion to residential or other uses.

For the lifestyle purchaser, the farm offers privacy, space and outstanding scenery on the doorstep of Cadair Idris, in an area renowned for walking, riding and cycling. The Eryri National Park is an International Dark Sky Reserve, and the village of Abergynolwyn, the Talyllyn Railway and Tal-y-llyn lake are close by, with the coast at Tywyn within easy reach.

The buildings and sheltered yards also have scope, subject to planning consent, for a family home or homes and for a rural tourism business such as holiday cabins, glamping or farm-stay accommodation, in a well-visited part of Eryri. No planning permission is in place, and interested parties should make their own enquiries of Eryri National Park Authority.
There may also be scope for woodland creation on parts of the farm, and for habitat and natural capital enterprises, subject to the necessary consents.
