There are walks from the door up into the Gwydir Forest and around Llyn Elsi Lake, or a riverside walk past the golf course and the 14th-century St Michael’s Church. There are plenty of places for eating out just a short stroll away or indulge in some local culture by hearing a Welsh choir sing in the church.
