Penmachno is situated in the Machno Valley, Conwy County, North Wales. The Machno Valley is a beautiful location and there are many pleasant walks from the village including the spectacular Conwy Falls and the Machno Valley itself. Activity holidays are catered for with the new Penmachno Mountain Bike Trail that starts from just outside the village and passes through the forests of Snowdonia.
Close to Penmachno is a National Trust property Ty'n-y-Coed Uchaf a preserved traditional Welsh farmhouse. | But to the Welsh people Penmachno's main claim to fame would be its proximity to Ty Mawr (the Big House) at Wybrnant (a hanging valley located between Penmachno and Dolwyddelan).
