This atmospheric "lost place" is a collection of farmhouse building ruins. The farm was abandoned in 1959 and now seems to belong to the sheep.

Superb views of the Mawddach estuary and across towards Cader Iris. Such a peaceful place, we didn't meet any other people.

A bronze statue of four dolphins leaping out of the water has been erected in Barmouth by the Barmouth Resort Improvement Group (Brig).
The image is intended to highlight the presence of dolphins in local waters and is supported by the Sea Watch Foundation.

Barmouth Beach

Highlight • Beach

Barmouth Beach is known as the most popular beach in the southern area of Snowdonia.
The large sandy beach is a favorite spot for beachgoers and there are often large waves here, perfect for surfing. The size of the beach means that it never feels crowded, even in the summer months.

Barmouth Beach

Highlight • Beach

The cleanest beach I have seen by far. Great beach for a stroll as you can make it as short or as long as you like, while the tides out you can walk all the way up to Shell island. Lots of sand dunes to climb, and plenty of places to stop for food and drinks.
