Barmouth
Barmouth is a town and community in the county of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, pushing the estuary of the River Mawddach and Cardigan Bay. Found in the Historic county of Merionethshire, the Welsh form of the name is originated from "Aber" (estuary) as well as 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 industry, and more just recently as a seaside resort. Remarkable structures consist of the middle ages Ty Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Ty Crwn roundhouse jail and also St John's Church. William Wordsworth, a site visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, described it hence: "With a great sea view ahead, the hills behind, the glorious estuary running 8 miles [13 kilometres] inland, as well as Cadair Idris within compass of a day's walk, Barmouth can always hold its own against any kind of competitor." Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which lies east of the community on the adjoining hill, was the very first system of land to be contributed to the National Trust fund.
