“....blessed with huge sea views, soaring mountains and a sense of unending space. The seaside resort of Barmouth, with its estuary, railway bridge and wide sands, is a great place to be based for adventures in the nearby hills or to medieval fortresses such as Harlech Castle.
The Rhinogs, in the southern part of Snowdonia, are ripe for exploration, their paths less trodden than those of the national park's more popular routes to the north."
- from the giant American TV station CNN.*
*^* Spectacular seaviews and sunsets from the hotel restaurant, 200m from the house.
*^* Enjoy the tranquil nature-walk path to the beach: turn right out of the front door, left at the foot of the road, cross the main road, walk round the bend, look for the steps down to the sea. You can also walk along the beach into town.
*^* Tal y Don - best pub in Barmouth/Abermaw. Suntrap. Wifi. The Last Inn (on the far side of the town centre) is also good.
*^* Love the harbour.
*^* Lots of independent shops in Abermaw/Barmouth. Meat eaters have recommended David Jones the Butcher, most especially for his thick-cut pork sausages. His shop is at 6. St Annes Square, LL42 1DF.
Even more shopping choices in Machynlleth.

The celebrated beautiful Mawddach Estuary Walk starts just east of Barmouth town by crossing the spectacular railway bridge. This mostly flat and traffic free walk follows the south bank of the estuary for 9.5 miles to Dolgellau. http://www.mawddachtrail.co.uk/mawddach-trail.html for detailed info.
The Cambrian Coast Scenic Railway is a must for all lovers of coastal scenery drifting by through the windows of a country train route that Beeching didn't destroy.
"THE TRAINLINE" is now promoting Barmouth as one of "our top UK summer destinations". It's "a seaside town with a great scenic rail journey from Birmingham and the West Midlands. The area of Barmouth is often remarked upon for its natural beauty. After a visit in the 19th century, legendary poet William Wordsworth commented 'with a fine sea view in front, the mountains behind, the glorious estuary running eight miles inland, Barmouth can always hold its own against any rival'."
The Coast Scenic Railway is practical for visiting Harlech Castle (up a steep hill), Portmadog, Aberdyfi, Criccieth, or Machynlleth.
TIP: Plan your journey. Trains run only every 2 hours (appx) Mon-Sat, and just 3 a day on Sundays. Timetables at Information at Barmouth/Abermaw Station.

BEACHES - nearby ones are quiet. The town beach gets busy in the season. Swimming in the sea is good - only DON'T swim near the harbour, due to strong tides. Try fishing instead! - there's a supplies shop on the road into Barmouth from the house.
TIP: Turn right out of the house, right again at the main road, cross the road, go past the turn for the caravan site, and you come to the footpath to the nearest beach and its coffee van.
