Glynllifon Country Park
Explore the woodland, gardens, parkland and riverside in this beautiful country park in Gwynedd. The park and gardens are Grade One listed and home to some of the rarest flora and fauna in the Wales. Glynllifon contains many lovely walking trails including one through woodland and along the River Llifon with follies and sculptures along the way. There is also a cafe and a maze and exhibits such as steam power pistons restored by Fred Dibnah.
The park sits next to the Lon Eifion Cycle/Walk Route which runs along a disused railway line. If you'd like to extend your walking in the area then this is a good option. The surfaced path has great views of the Welsh Highland Railway and Snowdonia National Park.

Ornamental Bridges, Glynllifon Country Park. I took this photograph in late November 2004 with a small Nikon digital camera, using a tree trunk to steady the camera during exposure because of the low light levels. The view is eastwards in a wood named "Gwern-y-felin."

The main drive towards the front of Plas Glynllifon house. This drive follows the south bank of the Llifon and runs through ornamental gardens and woodlands.
Plas Glynllifon. This was the seat of the Newborough family until 1948 when death duties forced them to sell the estate. In 1954 an agricultural college was established in the parkland, which today, in an expanded form, is known as Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor. The main house was built in the 1830s by the 3rd Lord Newborough.
