Autumn at Tyncornel
September 27th 2023
Now that the nights are drawing in and the weather is getting colder, Tyncornel is a welcoming place to visit.
Arriving at Tyncornel after dark, you will see the only lights for miles around. The hostel is waiting to welcome you for an autumn visit. Inside the wood burning stove makes the common room very cosy. Outside, the leaves and bracken are changing colour, looking very attractive when you go walking. If the sky is clear, the hostel is a great place for looking at the stars.
