Barmouth
Barmouth is a town as well as community in the county of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, resting on the estuary of the River Mawddach and Cardigan Bay. Located in the Historic county of Merionethshire, the Welsh type of the name is derived from "Aber" (tidewater) and the river's name, "Mawddach". The English kind of the name is a corruption of the earlier Welsh kind 'Abermawdd'. The community is offered by Barmouth train station. The community expanded around the shipbuilding sector, and a lot more lately as a seaside resort. Significant 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 site visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, explained it thus: "With a fine sea sight in front, the mountains behind, the glorious estuary running eight miles [13 kilometres] inland, and also Cadair Idris within compass of a day's walk, Barmouth can constantly hold its own versus any kind of opponent." Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which is located east of the community on the adjoining hillside, was the initial tract of land to be donated to the National Count on.
