Rhyd-y-Creuau is a historic Georgian country house built in the early 1800s, set in the beautiful landscape of the Snowdonia National Park.
Cascading rivers and wooded hillsides provide a rugged backdrop to the centre, yet it is close to Snowdonia’s glaciated valleys, rocky shores, beaches and traditional seaside resorts. The 2.2 hectare estate includes a football pitch, woodland, biodiversity garden, a stream, campfire area, two ponds including a 10 minute well-being walkway. The centre is popular with those wishing to explore the mountains and adventure activities of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park which surrounds the centre, including Zip World Fforest which is a short walk away.
