About
Visit our award-winning visitor centre and discover how the story of a young Welsh girl changed the lives of millions.
Set on the edge of Llyn Tegid, the centre tells Mary Jones’s story through multimedia and interactive displays in a Grade 2-listed building. Complete with a picnic area, café and children’s playground, Mary Jones Pilgrim Centre offers a great time out for children and adults alike.
The café offers a selection of hot drinks, tasty homemade cakes and light lunches from local suppliers. The café is open to everyone – you can enjoy it without visiting the centre. Group bookings are available on request.
Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed within the centre or graveyard. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the café and other areas of the site.
