Barmouth
Barmouth is a town and community in the county of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, pushing the estuary of the River Mawddach as well as Cardigan Bay. Situated in the Historic county of Merionethshire, the Welsh kind of the name is originated from "Aber" (tidewater) and the river's name, "Mawddach". The English type of the name is a corruption of the earlier Welsh type 'Abermawdd'. The town is offered by Barmouth train station. The town expanded around the shipbuilding sector, and also extra just recently as a seaside resort. Significant buildings consist of the middle ages Ty Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Ty Crwn roundhouse jail and also St John's Church. William Wordsworth, a visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, explained it hence: "With a great sea sight ahead, the mountains behind, the glorious tidewater running eight miles [13 km] inland, and Cadair Idris within compass of a day's stroll, Barmouth can constantly hold its own against any opponent." Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which lies east of the community on the adjoining hillside, was the first tract of land to be given away to the National Trust.
