About Dolgellau - show infohide info
Dolgellau (formerly spelt Dolgelley in English) is a market town in north Wales, lying on the River Wnion. It is the county town of the traditional county of Merionethshire. Originally a Roman military site, Dolgellau was the location of the last Welsh parliament, held in 1404 under Owain Glyndŵr. It later became a haven for Quakers and was also known for gold prospecting. This continues today at 'Gwynfynydd Gold Mines', one of the only sources of Welsh gold in the United Kingdom. The surrounding area is known for its wild but beautiful countryside and places of historical interest. Popular with tourists who enjoy activities such as walking, hiking, sailing, horse riding, white water rafting and dry slope skiing. Attractions in the town include the 13th century Cymer Abbey and nearby Cadair Idris. An annual music festival, the Sesiwn Fawr ("big session"), is held in Dolgellau. Nearby is the Snowdonia national park, and villages including Brithdir, Pen-y-Bryn, Bontddu, Arthog and Barmouth
