Mawddach Trail

Tan y Coed has immediate access to the famous Mawddach Estuary path – 9 miles / 15km of glorious (flat) walking or cycling running adjacent to the river Mawddach. Enter a world of mountain views and wildlife all whilst meandering along the old historic railway line.

Bounce Below

Part of the Zipworld family – Bounce below is the perfect way for the kids to unleash all of their excess energy! They’ll love bouncing their way through a network of underground nets and slides – you can re-energise them at the onsite cafe!

Zip World

Tan Y Coed is well located for the thrills of three Zipworld adventure centres. Take your pick from the UK’s fastest zip-line; underground cave trampolines; forest toboggan run; tree-top nets and swings; quarry karts; zip-lining caverns.

Cregennan Lakes

A short but steep drive up from the house to the stunning Cregennan Lakes National Trust reserve, with views to the Cader Idris range, picnic benches with views towards Barmouth or ample walking routes. The drive is not for the fainthearted!

Fairbourne Steam Railway

Just along the estuary trail – catch the little steam railway to the headland and then the short hop on the water taxi to Barmouth for sandy beaches; crabbing; donkeys and of course ice cream and tasty fish and chips!

Coed y Brenin

Thrilling world famous bike trails for all abilities along with four new running courses mixed with family woodland walks/play area and a cafe to refuel on site. Most paths are suitable for dogs off the lead too.

Arthog Falls

For those who like to get the blood pumping take a walk up from the house through Arthog Falls and the old oak forest emerging at the old drover’s bridge and loop back via Cregennan Lakes down to the house.

Beaches

Golden and sandy; pebbles and rocks; quiet and secluded. Miles of beaches and coastline waiting to be explored – two beaches are within walking distance (4km) along the trail with Barmouth holding a Blue Flag. Harlech Beach north of Barmouth is a nature haven for long sandy walks.

Cader Idris

A must-do for walkers staying at Tan y Coed – the local famous mountain Cadair Idris – meaning ‘Chair of Idris’ from the giant warrior poet of Welsh legend at 2927ft. The ambitious can climb direct from the house, otherwise it’s a 15 minutes drive to the Pony path car park
