Cwm Pennant Valley

Cwm Pennant has often been called "The most beautiful Valley in Wales" and I have to agree, its a pretty special place, particularly for those with a passion for photography and walking. I came across it while I was re-photographing "Isallt Fawr" a really lovely holiday cottage on the remote hillside. J B Priestley used to stay here and his signature, along with many others are preserved on a glass covered panel in the sitting room. Cwm Pennant is a narrow valley bordered on three sides by the mountains of the Nantlle Ridge, Y Garn, Mynydd Tal Y Mignedd, Moel Lefn and is situated south west of the main Snowdon range of mountains. Welsh poppies grow wild here and there is a magnificent abundance of bluebells adorning the valley sides in the spring, giving breathtaking views and a wonderful aroma.

A magical place.
