Local Area and Activities

You will never be short of things to do whatever the weather at Plas Gower. Apart from the enjoyment of the peaceful location and views, the use of our lovely garden and adjoining field, you will find many activities and pursuits in the locality.

This part of Snowdonia with its undulating hills and mountain peaks is a walkers paradise. Surrounding the property are the Arrans and the forest. The forestry tracks and roads provide the opportunity for exploration on foot or by road. There are some remarkable views and fabulous countryside with lakes and streams at every point.

Within 100 yards of the property you will find the Llangower Halt. The Bala Lake Railway running along the site of the former track to the coast runs several times a day throughout the year and apart from the pleasure of riding in the train and hearing it "toot" past the property provides a useful connection to Bala.

Further afield you could try your hand at white water rafting at one of the few centres in the U.K. Its base is about five miles away and is popular with canooists too.

Or, why not try a visit to the market town of Dolgellau about twenty minutes away or the pleasure beach at Barmouth. In the opposite direction there is plenty of interest at Llangollen, Corwen and Wrexham about one hour's drive from Bala. Whatever interests you, you can be sure that on a wet or sunny day you will be spoilt for choice. Full details of all the local attractions can be found on local websites and you will find a visitors book at the property with full details.
