Venture near Llanberis, Gwynedd, and discover Hen Dy, the old stone farmhouse on the Hafod y Llan estate, where it is said that Llywelyn the Great resided when he wrote to King John to form their alliance. The National Trust Holidays cottage sleeps up to eight guests and is cosy and comfortable and a great retreat after a day spent exploring Eryri (Snowdonia).

For the adventurous Eryri is perfect for hiking and climbing, ascend Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). Challenge yourself with various climbing routes and scrambles on mountains like Tryfan.

Plastic Free Yr Wyddfa: Plastic Free Yr Wyddfa is an initiative organised by Eryri National Park to protect the mountain’s sustainable future. This cottage, and all National Trust holiday cottages in the national park have been awarded silver status in this plastic-free business programme, and we are making changes to work towards gold status.
