Location :

Foel Friog is located near to the village of Aberllefenni in Dyfi Forest, Wales.

The local terrain, being on the southern edge of Snowdonia, is hilly & mountainous. The Afon Dulas runs through the farm  on its way to the village of Corris.

The historic mountain Cadair Idris is only a few miles to the west.

The surrounding farmland is almost entirely grassland grazing with the commercial forestry being mainly conifer plantation. There are also areas of ancient broad leaved woodland.

Our local weather is influenced by mountain, forest and the relatively close proximity of the sea. A summary of our current weather conditions can be seen below.

Geology :

The predominant sculpting factor for the local landscape was glaciation during the last ice age. The local valleys are classic glacial U-shaped valleys with rivers in their base that are small for the valley size.
