Tanygrisiau, meaning "below the steps", referring to the stepped cliffs above this traditional Welsh village. The Moelwyn mountains protect the village from much of the wind from northerly gales in the winter, and give the village a pleasant southerly aspect with relatively mild weather considering its location high in Snowdon. The village stands amongst some dramatic scenery, and Tanygrisiau is a good starting point for many walks, especially if your intention is to climb Moelwyn itself. Tanygrisiau was famous for its slate mining, producing a high quality black slate that was used across the world. Tanygrisiau railway station is on the famous Ffestiniog Railway, a narrow gauge railway built to carry slate from the mines down to the sea at Porthmadog; today it is a renowned tourist attraction providing stunning views on its trip to the coast. Only 1.6 miles away is Blaenau Ffestiniog, once the capital of slate quarrying and in the 18th century known as the "City of Slate". The town stands in an elevated, natural bowl amidst this mountainous region, has a good variety of shops and pubs, but is best known for its tourist attractions. One of the old quarries is now the renowned Llechwedd Slate Cavern. The famous narrow gauge Ffestiniog Railway provides wonderful trips through spectacular countryside. Enjoy superb walks and bike trails at Coed-y-Brenin, one of the best mountain bike centres in Britain, as well as good climbing at the Plas y Brenin National Mountain Centre, wonderful sandy beaches, or great fishing or golf. Visit delightful Betws-y-Coed, the Italianate Village at Portmeirion, or Bala, with its renowned white-water rafting opportunities.

Previous visitors' comments about Glan-yr-Afon Cottage:
We had a fabulous holiday as location was excellent for amazing walks and scenery. The owners were extremely helpful, they had left an excellent, easy to follow file containing useful information about the amenities and surrounding area.
Mrs Rennie, Littleborough, October 2011
The location of the property was a great starting point for lots of different enjoyable walks which we, and our dogs, loved! The cottage was very clean and well equipped and had everything you could possibly need!
Mrs Pye, Wigan, September 2011
Everything we expected. A delightful two up/two down terraced cottage, with a downstairs extension containing a well equipped kitchen and a decent sized bathroom. Rest of the house was neat, tidy and certainly the best rental we've stayed in. Nice welcome pack, umbrellas in the hallway, log fire, Satellite freeview TV, games, books, maps etc. We would definitely visit again and recommend to friends.
Mr Taylor, Leighton Buzzard, July 2011
In an area of outstanding natural beauty and everything was easily accessible.
