| Quite
breathtaking. This magical place is ‘where the garden reaches
to the sky’.
Nantcol is a
14th century Welsh longhouse overlooking the Rhinog Mountains and
Drws Ardudwy Pass, at the far end of the savagely beautiful Nantcol
valley. It nestles against the mountainside at 1,000 feet with superb
views of mountain scenery in a location of private solitude without
being isolated. Nantcol is within the Snowdonia National Park.
The
house is built of granite stone with massive wood rafters supporting
the roof. Nantcol can be dated back to at least 1300 and is a genuine
longhouse meaning ‘a single long low oblong building which
houses both the family and its cattle’. The cattle would have
been housed in the converted spacious farmhouse kitchen and hay
kept above in the hayloft bedroom.
