Bryn Derwen is situated approximately 1 mile from the village centre in a picturesque hamlet of stone built houses and cottages close to the Afon Artro river and Coed Artro woodland. Further up the lane there are the spectacular beauty spots of Cwm Bychan and Cwm Nantcol waterfalls and village amenities are within approximately 20 minutes walk.
Llanbedr is a small village with a population of about 500 situated on the western coastal fringe of the Snowdonia National Park. It has a thriving community and is located on the picturesque Afon Artro River between the Rhinog Mountains and magnificent beaches of Cardigan Bay. The village is served by a variety of shops including newsagent, butchers, delicatessen and Post Office. There are two pubs, Country House hotels, popular primary school, a regular bus service and a rail link along the Cambrian Coastline to local towns and the Midlands.
Welsh has been the principal language in Llanbedr for hundreds of years and is the first language of many local families. It is therefore very much part of every day life around the area and is heard and seen on a daily basis. The use of Welsh is actively promoted by a very successful bilingual Welsh and English education system that the local school children all benefit from. Information about how to learn Welsh can be found on Sanderson Estate Agents' web site or by contacting their office. A wider range of shopping and recreational amenities can be found in the nearby harbour town of Barmouth, 7 miles away.

Features include natural rock formations, covered archways, several Oak trees and dry stone walling by the public footpath and paddock. Don't forget the flag pole which signals whether one is in residence!
