Sitting above the Conwy valley, Y Granar offers all the benefits of its secluded rural location, whilst being within easy reach of a wide range of activities. These include the towns and beaches of the North Wales coast, the mountains of Snowdonia and a host of adrenalin adventures, such as the fastest zipline in the world and Surf Snowdonia.
