Fairbourne
Fairbourne is a Welsh seaside town. It pushes the coast of Barmouth Bay in Arthog community, to the south of the estuary of the River Mawddach in Gwynedd, surrounded by the Snowdonia National Park. It remains in a location provided by Gwynedd council for handled resort as a result of rising water level. The location where Fairbourne currently is became part of the historic area of Merioneth, and was composed mostly of salt marshes and somewhat greater grazing lands. Before advancement began in the mid 19th Century there were three ranches on the land. Before the seaside resort was built, the seaside area was called Morfa Henddol, while the headland outcrop now inhabited by the Fairbourne Hotel was called Ynysfaig. About 1865 Solomon Andrews, a Welsh business owner, bought the promontory. Over the following a number of years he constructed a seawall for tidal protection and numerous residences. To promote this he developed a horse-drawn tramway from the railway to the site in order to bring in structure materials, it was transformed to a steam railway in 1916. Sir Arthur McDougall (of flour making popularity) had been seeking a country estate, but when he discovered this area, he soon conceived of it as a seaside resort. In July 1895 Arthur McDougall purchased a substantial property from land speculators, which he bigger by additional great deals the following year. He worked with a contractor in 1896 who started the growth of a version seaside resort. Uncommonly for Gwynedd area, the town has no official Welsh-language name. Unlike the majority of Gwynedd, where Welsh is the bulk language, English is the predominate language in Fairbourne with the majority of its occupants originating from or descended from those that originated from England.
