Snowdonia Life is the ongoing story of the experiences and adventures that we have living in the heart of the amazing Snowdonia National Park in North Wales.

After both having long and successful careers, we moved to Snowdonia in 2019. But we are not ‘retiring’ in the conventional sense because we believe everyone needs a sense of purpose and motivation. We started a lifestyle business where we welcome guests from around the world to our highly sought after Glyn Shepherds Hut. which is listed on AirBnB, Booking.com and Trip Advisor.

Snowdonia has everything we need to nourish and extend us creatively and physically. Breathtaking landscapes and gorgeous dramatic coastline provide almost limitless opportunities to create the art, photography and writing that we love. See more about Snowdonia here.

We will provide insights into some of our favourite places to visit. This will include articles and video that we hope will give you a sense of what it’s like to live visit and even live here.

If you’d like to get our latest musings just sign up below with your email. We will be releasing content here and on various social media channels so also consider connecting and following us to see what we’re up to.

Thanks for visiting and we hope you find our content useful and entertaining!
