Farmer and TV presenter Gareth Wyn Jones has kindly made a video blog for us, inviting people to visit North Wales in 2021 to enjoy the fabulous landscape, the farming history, the delicious local food and the unique culture of this 'small country with a big heart'.
Gareth's family have farmed the land at Ty’n Llwyfan, on the rugged North Wales coast, for over 370 years. Gareth is passionate about farming in a sustainable way and delights in sharing his passion with visitors.
People from all over the world come to Ty’n Llwyfan to enjoy one of the farm's immersive tours and this year was set to be the busiest ever, until coronavirus stopped everything.
Gareth and his family are now looking forward to 2021 and are making plans for the future. Next year Gareth will be offering all kinds of tours, including a new experience up onto the beautiful Carneddau mountains by buggy to see the unique Carneddau ponies. There are only 220 breeding mares of this rare breed left in the world, so the tour is an exceptional opportunity to learn about this ancient Welsh pony.
In addition, visitors to Ty’n Llwyfan can enjoy sheepdog demonstrations and sheep shearing, as well as listening to one of the best harpists in Wales playing while the sun sets over the island of Anglesey.
The farm produces the majority of its own food and, on one of Gareth's ‘taste of Wales’ tours, visitors can enjoy delicious farm-reared lamb or beef, with fresh vegetables grown on the farm, accompanied by a glass of locally-produced Welsh wine. An experience definitely worth trying!
2021 will be a big year for the farm, and Gareth and his family are looking forward to welcoming people from all over the world once again to their little corner of paradise.
When things get back to normal, those of us at Janet Redler Travel & Tourism are looking forward to returning with our tours to Gareth's amazing farm, and to experiencing in person once again Gareth's passion for North Wales, his sheep farming expertise and his vision for sustainable farming.
If you or your group would like to enjoy a tailor-made tour of North Wales in 2021, including some of the immersive Welsh experiences offered by Gareth at Ty’n Llwyfan, please do contact our friendly team today.
