Location
About the surrounding area of The Toll BridgeThe property is housed in one of the most strikingly beautiful spots in Wales with a host of cycling, walking, water sports and outdoor activities and stunning scenic spots to visit. Keen walkers will be spoilt for choice with the endless options available. Nearby Cader Adris is well worth the climb with a fantastic view from the summit. Whilst a short fifteen-minute drive away is the seaside town of Barmouth that boast stunning sandy beaches.
Cyclists should take to the Mawwdach Estuary to follow the stunning Mawddach Trail that runs alongside the beautiful mountain landscape along an old disused railway line. It’s a smooth path suitable for all ages to enjoy. A little further afield the Coastal Path Walk running through Aberystwyth and leading through to Borth offers views of Snowdonia and Cardigan Bay, a fantastic place to take in the wider area and explore.
Closer to home the beautiful Coed y Brenin Forest Park (thirteen minutes’ drive) has waterfalls and nature trails to discover with plenty of wooded paths to follow. You can enjoy lunch at the café there and even wash off the mud at the bike wash!
Situated right in the heart of Snowdonia you will have endless places to discover, with the National Park Centre just twenty-five minutes away, holding a range of information. Whether you are looking to climb the highest peaks or just take in the natural beauty of the National Park there is something for everyone. We recommend the Llyn Cwellyn Boardwalk trail, an easy access lakeside walk that meanders between two soaring mountain peaks. If hiking isn’t your thing then why not hop on board the seasonal Snowdon Railway, surely one of the most picturesque train rides in the world, with stunning scenery and awe-inspiring views you can ride the rail right to the summit without any exertion needed!
Ynyslas National Nature Reserve is situated midway between Aberystwyth and Machynlleth and is a must see during your stay (under an hour drive). Explore the vast sand dunes with a rich population of orchids and rare species of insects, take in the golden mosses of Cors Fochno, the largest raised peat bog in Britain or look out for local birds of prey and wetland wildlife at the Dyfi estuary. A truly peaceful location of unimaginable beauty.
History fans have a wealth of spectacular castles to explore all under an hour away, from the coastal Criccieth Castle perched on the rocky headland between two beaches, to the imposing Harlech Castle, a World Heritage site, with its rugged backdrop that dates back to 1283 and is accessed by a newly installed floating bridge that connects the castle with the visitors’ centre.
