Tywyn
Tywyn, previously spelled Towyn, is a town, area, and seaside resort on the Cardigan Bay coastline of southerly Gwynedd, Wales. It was previously in the historical region of Merionethshire. It is famous as the area of the Cadfan Stone, a rock cross with the earliest well-known example of written Welsh, and the residence of the Talyllyn Railway. At the time of the 2001 census, 40.5% of the population were recorded as Welsh audio speakers. By the 2011 census this had decreased to 37.5%. These relatively high numbers (provided the community's population analysis) reflect making use of both Welsh and English as the tool of instruction in Ysgol Penybryn, the community's primary school. An Estyn inspection record in 2010 noted that concerning 11% of the youngsters at the college came from homes where Welsh was the primary language.
