Trigonos
A stream, a farm, room to pause
A stream runs through Trigonos’s 18 acres of gardens, meadows and small trees before cascading toward a clear lake, with mountain views shaping the wider landscape. Established in 1996, the Nantlle retreat venue brings together stays, gatherings and a biodynamic farm. It is a non-profit with a social and environmental ethos, and became part of Ruskin Mill Trust in 2020. The grounds give visitors room to wander between structured events, pause beside the water or simply take in the surrounding hills. Trigonos is not tied here to a single named spiritual tradition, so the experience depends on the retreat or event you book rather than a fixed centre-wide programme. Accommodation is offered as a bed and breakfast, while the broader venue hosts groups as well as individual visitors. Check the official website for current retreats, dates and prices before planning your stay.
