ABERDYFI: Aberdyfi is famous in Welsh folk legend as being the nearest place on dry land to Cantre'r Gwaelod (the hundred towns of the deep)- a province that was flooded when the prince in charge of the dams and dykes keeping out the sea got blind drunk and left the sea-gates open during a storm. The well-known song 'The Bells of Aberdyfi' became popular during the last century in the music halls and is still popular during sing-songs in Welsh pubs today.
Aberdyfi is also well known for golf and all water-sports, the history of which can be appreciated at the Outward Bound Sailing Museum. There are picturesque gardens and shaded walks aplenty at the Plas Penhelig Gardens which has an abundance of mature trees, water gardens, heather's and woodland wild flowers. Aberdyfi is well served by trains and buses and is a good starting point for exploring the southern coastline of the region.
