FEATURED TOWNS
ABERDYFI & TYWYN
Aberdyfi sits where the River Dyfi meets Cardigan Bay
- a lively harbour town with a strong maritime heritage.
Sailing, windsurfing, fishing and boat trips are part of
everyday life, alongside beaches perfect for families.
Nearby Tywyn, where the mountains meet the sea, is a
peaceful coastal town with dramatic backdrops.
DOLGELLAU
At the foot of Cadair Idris, Dolgellau is a former slate and
wool town with more listed buildings than anywhere else in
Wales. Its narrow streets and historic character make it ideal
for wandering. The Mawddach Trail starts here, and Dinas
Mawddwy offers a range of scenic circular walks.
PORTMEIRION & HARLECH
Portmeirion is a one-of-a-kind village, designed by Sir
Clough Williams-Ellis to show that architecture and nature
can exist in harmony. Harlech, nearby, is home to one of
Wales’ most dramatic castles - perched high above a long
stretch of golden beach, with views across Cardigan Bay.
