| On this map a red icon points to entrance to The Joys of Life Country Park (just after a Z-bend in the B4409 road from Bethesda to Tregarth) |
From the A5 on the East side of Bethesda take the B4409 to Tregarth, crossing a bridge over the river Ogwen, pass the "Welsh Slate" (formerly Penrhyn) quarry on the left. Follow winding road, passing row of cottages on left, then come to a dangerous z-bend, we are just after the z-bend, on the right, a wide entrance with red iron gates with "The Joys of Life" written in white metalwork on them.
Follow the long drive, drive curves to left by a large barn facing you, pass through an open gateway, park there and follow signs to "reception". IF you are in a MOTORHOME or TOWING A CARAVAN, after enterng the grounds, park in the hard-standing to left of driveway (opposite entrance to caravan park) and walk down the drive to Reception.
