TYWYN:
Tywyn is a smaller, quieter version of Barmouth , it has all the facilities necessary for a family beach holiday with excellent access to the Talyllyn and Dysynni valley which are excellent for picnics or leisurely walks.

Tywyn is probably best known for the Talyllyn Railway - this line was opened for passengers in 1867 and has been preserved using some very old engines along a track that follows Tal y Llyn lake and back again. The ride takes about two hours to complete and has numerous shops and site worthy of interest along the way for all the family, including the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum.

At the church of St Cadfan can be seen the earliest example of written Welsh on a gravestone and is very interesting architecturally.
