Barmouth
Barmouth is a town and also community in the region of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, lying on the estuary of the River Mawddach and Cardigan Bay. Situated in the Historic county of Merionethshire, the Welsh type of the name is derived from "Aber" (estuary) and also the river's name, "Mawddach". The English kind of the name is a corruption of the earlier Welsh form 'Abermawdd'. The town is offered by Barmouth train station. The town expanded around the shipbuilding market, as well as more just recently as a seaside hotel. Significant buildings consist of the middle ages Ty Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Ty Crwn roundhouse jail and St John's Church. William Wordsworth, a visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, described it hence: "With a great sea view in front, the mountains behind, the glorious tidewater running eight miles [13 km] inland, and also Cadair Idris within compass of a day's stroll, Barmouth can constantly hold its own against any type of competitor." Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which lies east of the community on the adjoining hill, was the first tract of land to be donated to the National Count on.
