The story
Plas Meini Estate is situated in the North of Wales in the Vale of Ffestiniog. The rental cottage dates back to the 1600s and is the oldest double ended cottage in Britain.
Only a few of these cottages are left in existence today, with the history behind the estate dating back to the bronze age.
With the estate being a farm beforehand many historical aspects come within it. Such as the wars leading up to the construction of the house and who previously owned it.
The site is Surrounded by ancient Celtic rainforests and its own SSSI status private woodland. Sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) are protected by law to conserve their wildlife or geology. . .
the rental cottage site is surrounded by beautiful views of MMoelwyn Mawr – a mountain in Snowdonia and forms part of the Moelwynion. Its summit overlooks the Vale of Ffestiniog.
The Forestry Commission or Natural England can help identify woodland you own or occupy as an SSSI – this is called being designated.
