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 popular seaside resort with high quality beaches. It had a population of 1282 in 2011.
The town centre is on the river and seafront, but it stretches back far from the coast and up the hillside. The town is situated in the Snowdonia National Park, making it attractive to 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 do along the beach, including sailing, kitesurfing and dinghy racing.
It is likely that the village has had a setttlement for a long time. There is evidence that the Romans established 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 soon destroyed.
If your house in Aberdyfi requires a new boiler, make sure you look at a number of quotations from reputable engineers.
