Barmouth

Among the coastal towns of Wales, Barmouth stands out for its setting where the River Mawddach meets Cardigan Bay. The town faces the broad Mawddach estuary, while the mountains of Eryri National Park rise inland and sandy shores continue along the bay. Barmouth Bridge, opened in 1867, carries the Cambrian Coast Line and a pedestrian and cycling route across the estuary. Its harbour recalls the 19th-century port, when shipbuilding and the slate trade shaped local fortunes. Above the old streets lies Dinas Oleu, the first property donated to the National Trust in 1895. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Barmouth and Wales.
