This bothy is perfectly situated at the bottom of Arenig Fawr (not too far from Bala) on the banks of Llyn Arenig Fawr. Making it a great spot to walk to (a nice steady 2km walk) or a great stopping point on your way up Arenig Fawr. Finding this "secret house" in the mountains just about saved this soggy walk... Turning it from a complete wash out to one of the girls favourite adventures yet!
