Fantastic coffee and cake today as always. We always go to TH Robert’s coffee shop when we are in Dolgellau. Well worth a visit when staying at Ochr Y Rhiw. Good to drop in after doing the nearby Precipice or Torrent walks

Our wild daffodils are just coming into flower on the banking. The early daffodils are looking lovely. We have last minute availability this weekend and some later in the month if you want to see them for yourselves.

Happy St David's Day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!

It's a real treat to spot a wild daffodil among the dappled shade of an ancient woodland, or pushing up through the grasses of a damp meadow. This wildflower is now quite rare, having declined during the 19th century as a result of habitat loss.

It has narrow, grey-green leaves and a familiar daffodil flower, but with pale yellow petals surrounding a darker yellow trumpet; this two-tone look is one way to tell them apart from their garden relatives. The wild daffodil is also relatively short and forms clumps, carpeting the ground.

Mae’n fraint enfawr cael gweld cennin Pedr gwyllt ym mysg y cysgod brith o fewn coedwig hynafol, neu yn gwthio ei ffordd fynnu trwy y glaswellt mewn dôl wlyb. Mae’r blodyn gwyllt yma yn weddol brin nawr, wedi dirywio yn ystod y 19eg ganrif fel canlyniad i golled yn eu cynefin.

Mae’r dail yn gul, yn lwyd-las ac mae’r blodyn yn debyg iawn i gennin Pedr cyffredin ond hefo petalau llwyd-felyn o gwmpas trwmped o felyn twllach; ffordd dda o wahaniaethu rhwng y rhai gwyllt a’i perthnasau gardd yw y deuliw yma. Yn o gystal a hyn mae’r cennin Pedr gwyllt yn gymharol fyr ac yn creu clystyrau, yn carpedu y tir.

Stunning views from the Precipice walk in near by Dolgellau this week. It is not a difficult walk. https://snowdonia.gov.wales/walk/precipice-walk/

Waterfalls are great to visit at this time of year. This one at Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochant is about an hour away. There is a lovely tea room too. It is a good place to visit en route to Ochr Y Rhiw

Winter is a great time to see the starling murmuration at Aberystwyth pier. A great full day out from Ochr Y Rhiw starts with the waterfalls at Devils Bridge, followed by the red kite feeding at Bwlch Nant Y A***n and onto Aberystwyth just before dusk to hopefully witness one of natures spectacles.

When it's cold outside, its cosy inside Ochr Y Rhiw!

Fabulous walks in the snow from our doorstep on the lanes up the hills behind us. Lots of activity on the bird feeder overlooking the river too.

Stretching for 870 miles (1,400km) around the country’s entire shoreline, the Wales Coast Path is probably best-known for its linear, point-to-point seaside routes. But that’s only part of the story. By linking up with local footpaths and rights of way, you can turn a one-way walk into a circula...

Southern Snowdonia is on our doorstep

https://www.visitsnowdonia.info/southern-snowdonia?fs=e&s=cl

Snowdonia might start in the far north around Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon. But that’s not the end of it. The Snowdonia National Park extends eastwards and southwards, across to Bala and almost all the way down to Machynlleth. These highlands are greener and rounder than those in the rocky north - but they.....
