Sandwiched between the mountains and the sea, the pretty seaside town of Barmouth is what traditional family holidays are made off. With a small fairground, swing boats, donkey rides, and a land train running the length of the promenade, Barmouth is a true bucket and spade family holiday destination. The two-mile beach is a fantastic spot for sunbathing, swimming, paddleboarding or kayaking, or enjoy an ice cream watching the boats bob up and down in the harbour.
When you are done with the beach, wonder into town to explore the shops and restaurants or take a stroll across the impressive bridge which spans the river. Discover more about Barmouth’s fascinating history on the town’s Heritage Trail or take a ride on a steam train on the Fairbourne and Barmouth Railway track.
If you are feeling energetic you can stroll into the hills where you can enjoy fantastic sea and mountain views. The Mawddach Estuary is a haven for bird watchers, or for anyone simply wanting to get off the beaten track. Walk or cycle along the Mawddach Trail, an old rail route which runs to the pretty town of Dolgellau, or climb Cadair Idris, the highest peak in southern Snowdonia. Other day trips include the impressive castle at Harlech, the world famous Royal St David’s Golf Club and the Llanfair Slate Caverns.
