Road Directions
From Machynlleth - Follow A487 towards Dolgellau. The Old Vicarage is 5 miles on the left from Machynlleth. You will see a white sign for The Old Vicarage on your left, just after the waterfall, slow immediately as our driveway is a sharp left back on yourself. From Dolgellau - Join the A487 towards Machynlleth. Go through Corris Uchaf and pass the Corris Craft Centre on the right. Continue past the turning for Corris village on your left, and the Braich Goch Inn on your right. The Old Vicarage is the next property on the right, after the bend.
Public Transport Directions
Our property is best if you have a car in order to access all of the local attractions. There are bus routes and taxis however as this is rural area both are infrequent.
