Bontddu Hall
Closed as an exclusive hotel in 2004 and became a private residence. Sadly, it was severely damaged by a fire in 2020 in which the wife of the owner died. It was then placed on the market for a sum just shy of £1m. Viewed here across Afon Mawddach.

Bontddu Hall
Built in 1873, Bontddu Hall is a Victorian country mansion with 3 acres of gardens, woodland and rhododendron forest with views of Cader Idris mountain range and the Mawddach River. This was once the country retreat of the Lord Mayor of Birmingham and Richard Burton stayed here when he was making his 1949 film debut, The Last Days of Dolwyn, with Emlyn Williams.

The "Fiddler's Elbow" Bridge
I have a 1920's postcard of this view when the Dolgellau to Abermaw road had to negotiate this tight turn (the road was even narrower then) now long by-passed. The inside of the curve is now picnic area. A good starting point for walks up into Cwm Mynach.

Track down to "Fiddler's Elbow"
The steep tarmac track down to the A496. It's always a good sign when there is a green "bloom" in the centre of a track.
