Barmouth
Barmouth is a town and neighborhood in the area of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, pushing the tidewater of the River Mawddach as well as Cardigan Bay. Located in the Historic county of Merionethshire, the Welsh form of the name is stemmed from "Aber" (estuary) and also the river's name, "Mawddach". The English form of the name is a corruption of the earlier Welsh type 'Abermawdd'. The community is served by Barmouth railway station. The town expanded around the shipbuilding industry, and also more just recently as a seaside hotel. Noteworthy structures include the middle ages Ty Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Ty Crwn roundhouse prison as well as St John's Church. William Wordsworth, a visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, defined it thus: "With a fine sea sight ahead, the mountains behind, the wonderful estuary running 8 miles [13 km] inland, as well as Cadair Idris within compass of a day's walk, Barmouth can always hold its own versus any rival." Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which is located east of the town on the adjoining hill, was the first system of land to be contributed to the National Depend on.
