| It only takes a few minutes to walk down the footpath to the beach, and you arrive just at the point where 4 miles of sand gives way to rock pools. This is a wonderful beach with safe swimming, and never crowded. All within an hour of Llys Tanwg, you can visit historic monuments, castles, and religious sites, ride on the famous narrow-gauge Ffestiniog railway, play golf on one of the world’s greatest courses, go horse-riding or white-water rafting, explore slate caverns, hill walk, mountain or rock climb, river, lake or sea swimming, kitesurf or windsurf, or just stay home and enjoy the beautiful house and it's views, and play in the games room. Behind the house on foot, you are soon on the hills where there are wonderful walking opportunities. If you want to set out by car, there are a host of beautiful and isolated spots all under 20 minutes drive away, such as Shell Island, the valleys of Cwm Buchan and Cwm Nantcol, and the mountain range inland where ravens and falcons fly and wild goats can still be seen. Of course, Snowdonia is internationally known for its fine climbing and walking and beauty of scenery, more details of which can be found here. |

| “The
long sandy beach at Harlech overlooked by the impressive castle can
be a good beach to head for. Harlech beach is four miles long and
as well as being OK for surfing offers some excellent windsurfing
and kitesurfing conditions. All the usual facilities can be found
in the village of Harlech and parking is easy. The castle itself is
impressive, but the views from it are some of the best in Wales.” http://www.forces-of-nature.co.uk/beachguide/bg_westwales.htm There is also the world-famous golf course at the foot of the castle: "It is no exaggeration to say that Royal St. David's is one of the finest courses in the world" - Bernard Gallacher (Ryder Cup Captain) http://www.wales-golf-course.co.uk/club_golf_harlech.htm |
