If you’ve ever spent an evening at the Rhiw Goch Inn, you’ll know that when the clock hits about 8:00 PM in the summer, everything sort of… stops. The birds get a bit quieter, the air settles, and the Rhinogydd mountains across the valley start looking like...

Alright, pull up a camping chair (or a plush velvet armchair if you’re staying in the Lodge) and let’s have a chat. I’m Peter Dive, and if you’ve ever looked at a map of North Wales and wondered where the magic happens, it’s right here at Rhiw Goch Inn. Summer in...
