Barmouth
Barmouth is a town as well as community in the area of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, pushing the estuary of the River Mawddach and Cardigan Bay. Found in the Historic county of Merionethshire, the Welsh type of the name is originated from "Aber" (tidewater) and the river's name, "Mawddach". The English kind of the name is a corruption of the earlier Welsh kind 'Abermawdd'. The town is offered by Barmouth train station. The community grew around the shipbuilding industry, as well as a lot more just recently as a seaside resort. Noteworthy buildings include the middle ages Ty Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Ty Crwn roundhouse prison and St John's Church. William Wordsworth, a visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, described it thus: "With a fine sea sight in front, the hills behind, the wonderful tidewater running 8 miles [13 km] inland, and Cadair Idris within compass of a day's stroll, Barmouth can always hold its very own versus any rival." Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which is located east of the town on the adjacent hill, was the initial system of land to be given away to the National Count on.
