Bird Watching in Mid Wales
We have one hundred and fifty bird specises in the garden and is a hive of activity. One of the favourite birds is the Red Kite that hovers over us, ravens are here every year to rise their young in tall Scotts pine trees overlooking the garden. Apart from all the birds we have many other animals including badgers and foxes that come out at night and sometimes during the day we have two owls hunting.
Mid Wales Fishing
There are many places to go fishing in the Dyfi area, one at River Dulas North near Machynlleth and another at the River Severn-Newtown
The Llyn Clywedog Fishery and Lake Vyrnwy are very well known and are well worth a visit, the following link will give you all of them in a 20 miles radius from us.
The Dyfi river is a picturesque and very popular place from salmon and trout fishing and we overlook the beautiful valley.
Walking in Mid Wales
Mountain Walking
Many of the hikers in the area concentrate on Snowdon itself. It is regarded as a fine mountain, but can become quite crowded, particularly with the Snowdon Mountain Railway running to the summit.[8]
The other high mountains with their boulder-strewn summits—as well as Tryfan, one of the few mountains in the UK south of Scotland whose ascent needs hands as well as feet—are also very popular. However, there are also some spectacular walks in Snowdonia on the lower mountains, and they tend to be relatively unfrequented. Among hikers' favourites are Y Garn (east of Llanberis) along the ridge to Elidir Fawr; Mynydd Tal-y-Mignedd (west of Snowdon) along the Nantlle Ridge to Mynydd Drws-y-Coed; Moelwyn Mawr (west of Blaenau Ffestiniog); and Pen Llithrig y Wrach north of Capel Curig. Further south are Y Llethr in the Rhinogydd, and Cadair Idris near Dolgellau.
The Park has 1,479 miles (2,380 km) of public footpaths, 164 miles (264 km) of public bridleways, and 46 miles (74 km) of other public rights of way.[9] A large part of the Park is also covered by Right to Roam laws.
