Welcome to the Christian Mountain Centre Website

Our centres at Pensarn Harbour & Bryn-y-Moel are set in fantastic locations: nestled in between the vast unspoilt beaches of the Cambrian coast and the wild beauty of the Rhinog mountain range, the centres are truly set in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park.

Pensarn Harbour is an ideally situated residential outdoor pursuits centre on the waterfront of the river Artro estuary, enabling water sports activities to take place on site.  Bryn-y-Moel is just 3/4 mile from the Harbour and set in 11 acres of beautiful secluded woodland.  Rock Climbing, Archery and Orienteering are available on site.  Both centres are within walking distance of the stunning Llandanwg and Harlech beaches. Mountain based and rock climbing activities are just a short minibus ride away.  CMC for over 45 years has been offering Outdoor Education Courses for Schools, Youth Weekends and Holidays, Adventure Training and Family Holidays.  If you would like a free overnight stay as a potentional group leader, please do get in touch!
