The Ugly House


Our walk along the river took us past the Ugly House, which is now used by the Snowdonia Society as their headquarters. It was a ‘Ty Un Nos’ - or house built overnight. Under ancient law, he who built a house between sunset and sunrise, with walls, roof and smoking chimney, could claim the freehold, and legend has it that this was built in the 15th century by two brothers.
