The Local AreaLlanrhaeadr ym MochnantLlanrhaeadr is a typical Welsh village on the border of two counties, marking the division between Mid and North Wales. In this tranquil village with its beautiful surroundings pretty stone cottages follow the contours of the valley - a perfect setting for those who want to "get away from it all". It is no wonder that they filmed "The Englishman who went up a hill but came down a mountain" here starring Hugh Grant. It was in Llanrhaeadr, whilst he was at St. Dogfan's Church, that Bishop Morgan translated the bible into Welsh in 1588.For the more energetic amongst us Llanrhaeadr is an ideal location for abseiling, canoeing, climbing, horse riding, paragliding, quad biking, walking, white water rafting ... to name but a few. And if you have time after all these, you can hire a bike and cycle around Lake Vyrnwy. In the book "Landmarks of Britain", the author Chris Aslet lists Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant as one of the ten villages that shaped Britain's character. |

Pistyll RhaeadrSituated at the top of Waterfall Road is Pistyll Rhaeadr (the highest waterfall in Wales), one of the traditional "Seven Wonders of Wales" a truly breathtaking sight, plunging 73m (240 ft) in two stages over a sheer cliff and passing under a "fairy bridge" - a natural arch of rock. At the foot of the waterfall is a tea room - Tan y Pistyll (under the spout) and a footpath which leads into the hills, well worth the climb for the magnificent views across the Rhaeadr Valley to the peaks of the Berwyn Mountains. |
