Tywyn
Tywyn, previously meant Towyn, is a community, area, as well as seaside resort on the Cardigan Bay shore of southerly Gwynedd, Wales. It was formerly in the historic region of Merionethshire. It is well-known as the location of the Cadfan Stone, a stone cross with the earliest known instance of composed Welsh, and the home of the Talyllyn Railway. At the time of the 2001 census, 40.5% of the population were recorded as Welsh speakers. By the 2011 census this had actually lowered to 37.5%. These reasonably high numbers (provided the town's population density) mirror the use of both Welsh and English as the tool of instruction in Ysgol Penybryn, the town's primary school. An Estyn assessment report in 2010 noted that regarding 11% of the kids at the school originated from residences where Welsh was the major language.
