Bwlch Mountain
Tourist attraction
👍 Ample parking, just dodge the inquisitive sheep. They will watch you eat and stare out your dogs, but I managed to stroke my newest butty on the nose. 🐑
There's an ice cream van up there for your treats and coffee, views for days, and a few hiking routes with wind turbines in every direction, don't...

Glyncorrwg Ponds Mountain Bike Centre
Park
👍 The trails are really nice with the exception for the really annoying gate's at every start and finish of each single track(picture below). Not entirely sure what's the purpose of them except making you ride super not fun and stress. I assume they are there to prevent dirt bikes using the MTB trails...

The Old House 1147
Wedding venue
👍 I so wanted to give The Old House 1147 the 5 stars that it used to warrant, however for me it loses a star for a couple of reasons.
For a start, and most personally crucially, it is less of a chef's dining experience compared to when we were last there in 2021. Back then the menu was creative, a bi...
