your FEET IN THE HILLS, HEART IN THE SKY
Welcome to the land of giants and fairies, brigands and saints – a valley flooded by light and made up of small farms, rolling pasture, parkland and cottages, all of which busily go about their business while the River Tanat flows peaceably by.
While the Tanat Valley offers some of the area’s best walking and fishing, a little further afield you’ll discover the finest climbing, fell-running and mountain-biking in the country. Llangedwyn is surrounded by lakes and reservoirs, dramatic peaks, historic hill forts, and the highest waterfall in Wales. It’s also the perfect jumping-off point for world-renowned restaurants, Europe’s longest zip-wire, a surfing lake, and the beautiful beaches of Snowdonia National Park.

"With plenty of activities for the kids, great walks and lots of fresh air, we really enjoyed our stay at Llangedwyn. Beautiful gardens with stunning views, set in the idyllic welsh countryside… what’s not to like!”

Fishing on the Tanat Valley
The River Tanat is a dream to fish – “an intimate brook with bushed banks and hard fighting wild trout”, as the Upper Tanat Fishing Club describes it. Guests can fish on private beats for grayling, brown trout and salmon, and have access to a private lake where non-fishing guests can amuse themselves in a rowing boat.

Human habitation on Craig Rhiwarth dates back to the bronze age (while fairies are said to have lived here for almost as long). it’s one of the most outstanding viewpoints in the country – not to be missed.

Sycarth Castle
This 11th century motte and Bailey castle became Owain Glyndŵr’s home while he ruled as King of the independent nation of Wales. In 1403, forces loyal to King Henry IV destroyed it and, two years later, sent Glyndŵr into hiding, ending Wales’ brief period of home rule.
