Fairbourne
Fairbourne is a Welsh beachfront village. It rests on the shore of Barmouth Bay in Arthog community, to the south of the estuary of the River Mawddach in Gwynedd, surrounded by the Snowdonia National Park. It is in an area noted by Gwynedd council for taken care of retreat as a result of increasing sea levels. The location where Fairbourne now is became part of the historic area of Merioneth, as well as consisted mostly of salt marshes and a little higher grazing lands. Prior to development began in the mid 19th Century there were 3 ranches on the land. Before the seaside resort was constructed, the coastal location was known as Morfa Henddol, while the promontory outcrop now occupied by the Fairbourne Hotel was called Ynysfaig. Concerning 1865 Solomon Andrews, a Welsh business owner, purchased the promontory. Over the next several years he developed a seawall for tidal protection and a number of homes. To facilitate this he developed a horse-drawn tramway from the railroad to the website in order to bring in building products, it was converted to a steam railway in 1916. Sir Arthur McDougall (of flour making fame) had actually been trying to find a country estate, yet when he uncovered this location, he soon visualized it as a seaside resort. In July 1895 Arthur McDougall acquired a considerable property from land speculators, which he bigger by extra lots the following year. He hired a builder in 1896 who started the advancement of a version seaside resort. Uncommonly for Gwynedd area, the town has no main Welsh-language name. Unlike most of Gwynedd, where Welsh is the bulk language, English is the predominate language in Fairbourne with most of its citizens coming from or came down from those that originated from England.
