Fairbourne
Fairbourne is a Welsh beach town. It pushes the shore of Barmouth Bay in Arthog neighborhood, to the south of the estuary of the River Mawddach in Gwynedd, surrounded by the Snowdonia National Park. It remains in an area listed by Gwynedd council for taken care of retreat due to rising sea levels. The area where Fairbourne now is belonged to the historic area of Merioneth, and also consisted mostly of salt marshes as well as somewhat greater grazing lands. Before growth started in the mid 19th Century there were 3 ranches on the land. Prior to the seaside resort was constructed, the coastal location was called Morfa Henddol, while the headland outcrop now occupied by the Fairbourne Resort was called Ynysfaig. About 1865 Solomon Andrews, a Welsh business owner, purchased the promontory. Over the following several years he developed a seawall for tidal security and also a number of homes. To promote this he built a horse-drawn tramway from the railroad to the website in order to generate structure products, it was transformed to a steam railway in 1916. Sir Arthur McDougall (of flour making popularity) had been trying to find a country estate, however when he discovered this location, he quickly envisaged it as a seaside resort. In July 1895 Arthur McDougall bought a significant property from land speculators, which he bigger by extra whole lots the following year. He employed a builder in 1896 that began the growth of a model seaside resort. Abnormally for Gwynedd region, the village has no official Welsh-language name. Unlike most of Gwynedd, where Welsh is the majority language, English is the predominate language in Fairbourne with most of its residents coming from or came down from those that originated from England.
