The old market town of Dolgellau lies in the southern part of Snowdonia
National Park at the head of the magnificent Mawddach Estuary. Dominated by
the beautiful peak of Cader Idris, it has a stunning backdrop of mountains
and spectacular scenery. The distinctive streets are lined with listed
stone buildings of architectural interest. There is a wide range of shops,
numerous places to stay and a variety of pubs and restaurants.
The area is steeped in history from Celtic to Roman and later the Quaker
movement. Dolgellau is a walkers' and cyclists' paradise, suitable for all
abilities. Coed y Brenin nearby has the internationally renowned mountain
bike centre and there is also the Mawddach Trail for cycling or walking,
along the south side of the estuary and over to Barmouth. Within a few
miles of the town there are RSPB and nature reserves, waterfalls, woodlands,
lakes and rivers - ideal for fishing. Nearby are the old gold mines that
supply the Royal Family.
A touch further, you will find the legendary castles of North Wales, some of
the world's largest slate mines, steam railways, the Italienate village of
Portmeirion and much more.
With its amenities, relaxing atmosphere and always a warm welcome - you're
sure to enjoy your stay. Population 2,700
