Directions
From the North: 
Take the A55 west, leaving at the Caernarfon exit and heading into the town centre. From the centre, follow signs for the A487 to Porthmadog. After about 7 miles, turn left at the roundabout signposted to Rhyd Ddu, Penygroes and Llanllyfni (B4118), then turn immediately right towards Llanllyfni. Just before entering the village, take a left turn signposted Tan Yr Allt (the road is called "Lôn Ddwr"). After about half a mile, just after passing a cottage on the right called "Isfryn", take a right turn up an unnamed lane: there is a horesriding sign near the junction and a stream runs alongside it. (If you get to Tan Yr Allt village you have gone too far!) The farm gate for Cae Mawr is about a third of a mile up the lane.

From the Midlands and South: 
The fastest route is probably to go north on the M6 and then follow the directions above from Caernarfon. The main alternatives involve taking the M54 and A5 towards Shrewsbury and Corwen. You then have the choice of continuing via Betws-y-Coed to Caernarfon, or taking a southerly route via the A494 and A4212 to Porthmadog. (This is a particularly lovely route in good weather.) From Porthmadog take the A487 to the Penygroes/Llanllyfni roundabout and follow the directions above.

Local services

The local bus service is quite good and we can pick you up from the village if you arrive by public transport. Unfortunately the nearest main-line railway station is in Bangor, which is 40 minutes away by taxi.

Ample parking is available next to the house.

Position: (N) 53.0404° (W) -4.2585°

Please note that if you have Sat Nav and use the post code to find us, some equipment will direct you to the very top of the lane, just below Cwm Silyn, or else will take you into Tan Yr Allt village.
