As you cross the river & the road starts to bend left - start indicating RIGHT & begin to slow down, and take the narrow lane on the bend on your right. (If you pass the Oakeley Arms - you've gone too far!) Go down this lane for quarter of a mile, and just past the farm on your right the road will widen into a passing place & there is a blue metal gate on the left marked 'BRON TURNOR MAWR'. Go through this gate, and go round to the left of the main house to The Coach House.

FROM THE SOUTH: From M6 take junction 10A onto M54. The M54 eventually becomes the A5 - follow signs for Llangollen(A5).

The valley has been a highly rated destination for many years. Lord Lyttelton’s blog in 1776 ....’Nothing remarkable occurred in our ride, until we came to Festiniog, the Valley before which is the most perfectly beautiful of all
we had seen ..... with the woman one loves, with the friend of one’s
heart, and a good study of books, one might pass an age there,
and think it but a day.’

Slap bang in the middle of Snowdonia this is the heart of the national park.
Rugged mountains on 3 sides and sandy beaches along the shore.
Slate from Blaenau was the cutting edge of lightweight, roofing technology –
grey gold. For years it came down by packhorse to the quays on the Afon
Dwyryd and was rowed out on the tide past Portmeirion to waiting ships.
