Barmouth, Seaside community in Gwynedd, Wales.
This town sits on the estuary of the Afon Mawddach and Cardigan Bay, with mountains rising behind the coastal settlement.
The settlement developed during the 19th century as a shipbuilding center before transforming into a coastal destination with the arrival of railways.
The Welsh name Abermaw derives from the words 'aber' meaning estuary and 'Mawddach,' reflecting the town's connection to its waterfront location.
Transportation options include regular train services to Birmingham International and local bus connections to Harlech and Dolgellau through Lloyds Coaches.
Dinas Oleu, the hillside area east of the town, represents the first land donation ever made to the National Trust organization.
