This is a popular starting point for an expedition to the two infamous Rhinogydd peaks of Rhinog Fawr and Rhinog Fach. The path from here leads up through Cwm Nantcol to the notorious Bwlch Drws Ardudwy.

The farmhouse here has an interesting history. It was the former home of Colonel John Jones, husband to Oliver Cromwell's sister. At the time, Wales was mostly Royalist and Jones was a passionate Republican, which earned him the title of 'the most hated man in Wales.' The haters may have got what they wished for, as he was executed in 1660 when prosecuted for his abhorrent actions as a persecutor of various peoples.
