Barmouth
Barmouth is a town and also community in the county of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, lying on the estuary of the River Mawddach and also Cardigan Bay. Found in the Historic county of Merionethshire, the Welsh type of the name is derived from "Aber" (estuary) and also the river's name, "Mawddach". The English type of the name is a corruption of the earlier Welsh type 'Abermawdd'. The town is served by Barmouth railway station. The town expanded around the shipbuilding sector, as well as extra lately as a seaside hotel. Notable structures consist of the middle ages Ty Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Ty Crwn roundhouse jail as well as St John's Church. William Wordsworth, a visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, explained it hence: "With a fine sea view ahead, the mountains behind, the glorious estuary running eight miles [13 km] inland, and also Cadair Idris within compass of a day's stroll, Barmouth can always hold its own against any kind of opponent." Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which is located east of the community on the adjacent hillside, was the very first system of land to be contributed to the National Trust fund.
