If you’re considering converting a barn or buying one, you shouldn’t need to worry about it being cold. This is because building regulations dictate that when you convert a barn, you need to insulate it to meet specific standards. However, it’s worth considering its heating system and ceiling heights carefully – some barn conversions are likely to take longer and be more expensive to heat up than others.
Aberdaron
Aberdaron is a community at the western tip of the Llyn Peninsula in Wales. It is about 36 miles south west of Caernarfon and it has a population of 965.
The village was the last stop for pilgrims on their way to Bardsey Island, which is the mythical island of 20,000 saints. A former fishing village, the community became a shipbuilding centre and port in the 18th and 19th centuries. Mining and quarrying became the major industries, and the port exported limestone, lead, jasper and manganese. After the Second World War, the mining industry broke down and Aberdaron became a holiday resort. At the west end of the village, there are the ruins of an old pier running out to sea. The beach gained the Seaside Award in 2008. The coastal waters are part of the Pen Llyn Sarnau Special Area of Conservation, which is one of the biggest marine designated sites in the UK. The area is also a Heritage Coast and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
