Feather Down Farm Days (Glanmor Isaf)

We’re set in a landscape that represents wild Britain at its finest. There’s mountain biking on the North Wales Cycle Track, and climbing and vigorous walking along the North Wales Costal Path, not to mention a private pebble beach that is both a nature reserve and a Site of Specific Scientific Interest stacked with cockles and mussels for your campfire. Your neighbours live in Penrhyn Castle; stray just a little further afield and you’re at the crenulations of Caernarfon and the sandy beaches of Anglesey. You can take in the scenery by narrow-gauge railway as there are four beautiful lines nearby; the most historic of these is the Snowdon Mountain Railway, which goes straight up to the summit of Wales’s highest peak. Water sports can be enjoyed on the Menai Straits at Plat Menai Centre, and there are outdoor pursuits galore at Betws y Coed and Llanberis, each around 20 minutes away from Glamor Isaf by car. And for our littler guests there are GreenWood Forest Park and Angelsey Sea Zoo. Things to do in the area Visit National Trust properties – Penrhyn Castle is less than a mile away and Plas Newydd on Anglesey is a 20 minute drive. Walk up to spectacular Abergwyngregyn waterfall (10 minutes drive) and wonder at the 120ft cascade as it flows down from the high peaks of the Carneddau mountains before travelling down to the shores of the Menai Straits. Take in the scenery by narrow gauge railways - the Welsh Highland Railway running from Caernarfon to Porthmadog where it joins the Ffestiniog Railway , the historic steam engine of the Snowdon Mountain Railway that goes right up to the summit of Wales’ highest peak or, especially great for the under 7s is the little Llanberis Lake Railway.
