Walks

• Walk or cycle down the quiet tree lined lane from the property passing the ancient church Trefdraeth to Malltraeth and follow the well signposted cycle/footpath across the estuary to Newborough Forest Nature Reserve. This forest is a birdwatchers paradise with 'hides' placed in the woods, some by small lakes ideal for quiet observation.
