Guest access On street parking is available. Other things to note Dolgellau is steeped in history and was formerly the county town of Merionethshire (now Gwynedd). Its main bridge over the Afon Wnion dates back to 1638. Spend time walking around Dolgellau’s narrow streets and squares and you will soon spot signs of its past. There are plenty of walks meandering through the Welsh Countryside with the start of the popular flat Mawddach Trail which follows the old railway bed to the lovely seaside town of Barmouth, less than 5 minutes from the front door. If hurtling down hills on two wheels is your thing, then Dolgellau is the nearest town to Coed y Brenin Mountain Bike Centre and further north you have the rugged slate tracks of Antur Stiniog in Blaenau Ffestiniog. For the adrenaline junkies there’s Llechwedd in Blaenau Ffestiniog with Caverns to explore, zip lining, bounce below (an underground net adventure). Dolgellau is well placed for anglers wanting to cast a line either in Welsh mountain lakes or over 13 miles of fishing available on the Mawddach and Wnions rivers. We can arrange for angling permits and also put you in touch with a local guide. If sea fishing is your thing, Dolgellau is well placed for access to angling in North Cardiagan Bay.
