Other things to note Location & activities Dolgellau is steeped in history and was formerly the county town of Merionethshire. Its main bridge over the Afon Wnion dates back to 1638, and the town’s narrow streets and squares reflect its rich past. The start of the flat Mawddach Trail — following the old railway line to the seaside town of Barmouth — is less than five minutes from the front door. Dolgellau is also the nearest town to Coed y Brenin Mountain Bike Centre, with Antur Stiniog and Llechwedd offering further adventure activities including zip lines and underground experiences. The area is well placed for river and lake fishing, with over 13 miles of fishing on the Mawddach and Wnion rivers. Sea fishing is also accessible along Cardigan Bay. Angling permits and local guides can be arranged on request. Nearby towns and places to explore include Barmouth (10 miles), Harlech (21 miles), Aberdyfi (23 miles), Blaenau Ffestiniog (23 miles), Porthmadog (25 miles), Caernarfon (43 miles) and Llandudno (52 miles).
