Getting around
Unless you are a keen long distance walker, to make the most of the Dyfi Valley you'll need your own transport; car, pedal cycle, or motorcycle, all are welcome here. We are about 10km from the nearest train station in Machynlleth, which has a surprisingly good (though quite slow) service which connects well to Birmingham airport (BHX). The railway also connects to much of the Welsh Cambrian coast along one of the most picturesque railway lines in the country.
