Noddfa is a Welsh word meaning haven or refuge - a place of peace and welcome a place where you can regain energy.
It is the name of the centre run by the sisters of the Sacred Heart of Mary in Penmaenmawr, on the North Wales coast.
We hope that all the who come here will experience this, in the comfort of the house and the beauty of the surrounding hills and the sea.
Noddfa is well situated for visiting the spectacular Snowdonia National Park, the historic town of Conwy and its castle, the seaside town of Llandudno, Anglesey and many more places of interest.


That all may have life


ENJOY OUR GARDENS

[bushes]

At Noddfa we have not just one garden, but many different gardens joined harmoniously into an oasis of peace in the middle of a bustling world. Near the house are the more formal gardens with flower beds, lawns and tree-shaded paths. Behind the buildings are shrub gardens that blend naturally into the woodland that spreads away towards the mountain. On the edge of the woodland there are vegetable gardens, that supply much of the food for the house,and an orchard. You can play Croquet on the lawn, sit and gaze at the fountain, wander the paths that meander through the woods, or just relax on an easy chair. Splashes of colour abound around the grounds at the moment

LABYRINTH

We invite you to come and walk one of our 2 labyrinths. In walking the labyrinth, you simply follow the path to the centre. There are no choices to make and you do not get lost. At the centre, you can stop and reflect and then you turn around and retrace your steps. The return is as important as going in and what you experience at the centre. As well as our grass labyrinth, we have another labyrinth, designed and made for us by the Prince's Trust, with beautifully scented lavender bushes. This has recently been renewed with fresh bark, so it is easy to walk on even in wet weather. You are welcome to come and enjoy a reflective walk.

ART ROOM

There is an art room in the grounds where people can paint, draw and be artistic.


CIRCLE DANCE

Enjoy a time of relaxation and reflection with Sacred Circle Dance Tuesdays - 2.00 pm. COME AND JOIN US!



Circle dance is relaxing and enjoyable, as well as meditative. The steps are simple, no partner required, since the dances are done in a circle. The music used comes from many different parts of the world and the combination of music and movement can make the experience a therapeutic one.
