Several hundred years ago a water mill was built at Coetmor near Bethesda in North Wales. It fell into disuse in the late 19th Century and was totally derelict in the late 1960's when Hertfordshire Scouts began conversion to one of our most popular and well used facilities giving easy access to Snowdonia.

Activities

There is real scope for the serious mountain walker. All grades of climbing are available within a few miles including the Carneddau and Glyder range of mountains and Tryfan. Snowdon is only a short journey by road. There are also attractive routes for the not-so-energetic in the Conwy Valley or to the Aber Falls. Sea canoeing, fishing and pony trekking are other activities you might include in your programme. Coetmor is a splendid centre for touring the coast and mountains of North Wales with its castles, small railways and many other features of interest including the slate quarries at Llanberis.
