Aberdovey
Aberdovey, or Aberdyfi in Welsh, is a village in Gwynedd, on the west cost of Wales. It used to be a shipbuilding village, but is now a well-known seaside resort with high quality beaches. It had a population of 1282 in 2011.
The town centre is along the river and seafront, but it goes back far from the coast and up the hillside. The town is in the Snowdonia National Park, making it popular with tourists. Many people from the West Midlands visit there, as it is less than 100 miles to the east of Aberdyfi. There are lots of activities to take part in along the beach, including sailing, kitesurfing and dinghy racing.
It is likely that the community has had a setttlement for a long time. There is evidence that the Romans formed a track into Aberdyfi as part of their occupation of Wales in AD 78. Pen-y-Bryn, the hill in the middle of Aberdyfi, is claimed to be the site of the defensive walls erected in the 1150s. These were quickly destroyed.
