The Former School At Ganllwyd

Eryri National Park Authority had received an application to convert the former Ganllwyd school building on the A470.

It was closed due to falling numbers back in 2017, with pupils relocated to the new Ysgol Bro Idris super-school in nearby Dolgellau.

The application, lodged by Richard Turvey, said: "Due to the location and nature of the area there is a strong demand for visitor accommodation, particularly large properties which can accommodate higher numbers of visitors for larger families and group gatherings.
