When you arrive ready to enjoy your holidays you will find a wealth of activities, all within a 30 mile radius.

Easily accessible are Cader Idris, the second largest mountain in Wales - extremely close by - and surrounding mountains offering good walking. The Precipice Walk (right) offers a terrific view down the Mawddach Estuary.

If it is the beach you want, then there are many lovely sandy beaches, the closest being just 9 miles away.

 The Precipice Walk (right) offers a terrific view down the Mawddach Estuary.

There are excellent facilities for fishing and bird watching. Spectacular views can be enjoyed by walking or pony trekking through the foothills of the Cader Idris.

You can visit nearby castles, slate mines and ancient sites, ride on the "great little trains of Wales" or just enjoy the breathtaking scenic beauty.

  • clay shooting
  • gold panning

About the area

Wales, on the west coast of Britain, has a population of 3 million and Dolgellau is about 10 miles inland from the west coast and 50 miles south of the north coast of Wales.

It is conveniently situated on the A470 road in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park, with its stunning forests and mountains, beaches and lakes. The Mawddach estuary, which Dolgellau is at the head of, is one of the most beautiful places in the UK.

The market town of Dolgellau, formerly the county town of Merionethshire, or Sir Feirionnydd, is now in Gwynedd. Its buildings are made of warm stone.

You will hear a lot of Welsh spoken around Dolgellau, but don't worry - everybody speaks English as well.
