Neil, welcome to Aberllefenni. You will have to get used to having
no terrestrial television, no mobile phone signal, a fourteen-mile
round trip to the newsagents and a four-mile round trip to the pub,
but a good bus service and being able to live in beautiful scenery
amongst the hills and hanging forests with the only sounds being the
lowing of sheep, the murmur of the river and the occasional steam
loco whistle echoing up the valley from Corris.
