Machynlleth, with its broad high street and colourful buildings is just four miles away, and offers a lively and attractive holiday base.

You'll enjoy Machynlleth's shops, gallaries and pottery, and attractions like the Museum of Modern Arts, but the town also has a sense of history.

Wednesday is market day, and has been for many years under a charter granted in 1291. Owain Glyndwr was crowned Prince of Wales here in the Spring of 1404 before leaders from Scotland, France and Spain.

In more recent times, slate from quarries around Ceinws came down to Machynlleth on the Corris Railway for onward shipment. The railway is being restored and now carries passengers again.

Although the town is not large, it offers most of the things you are likely to need during your stay.
