Rosie makes amazing cakes, preserves, and sewn goods, which are great for gifts. These are available from the open shop by the side of the chapel in Llanegryn.

As soon as you leave the town, the views of the Dyfi valley and surrounding hills are superb.

A former slate village with a certain type of raw beauty, Corris is a little tourist honeypot. It is set within the Dyfi Forest and boasts a few attractions such as a craft centre, a centre for alternative technology, along with a narrow-gauge railway and museum. Ohhh did I mention bike trails? It has a never ending supply of them!

Meticulously whittled, this rather impressive wooden eagle is definitely worth stopping. Only a stone's throw away from the beach by the way

A small village just outside of the Snowdonia National Park which is a brilliant base for running. The Corris Round starts here, created by a local lad and his dad during the 2019 lockdown it's a 35-mile loop of the high points around the village. Check out the brilliant video of the first round... https://filmuphigh.com/the-corris-round/ The village itself has a useful shop called Idris Stores. Grab some supplies here or a coffee and cake pre or post run. The shop is open 10:00 - 14:00 every day apart from Sundays when it's closed.
