'Pen' was purchased in 1935 and was the largest of the school boarding houses. It was reached from the main school via the school bridge. The bridge still acts as a gateway to Dolgellau today.

From the bridge it was quite a steep climb through the woods, then past fields with livestock - including lambs gambolling about in the spring. Then it was through the Kissing Gate and up again, going into 'Pen' at the back door - never the main entrance.
