Dolgellau Visitor Information
The pretty market town of Dolgellau (pronounced Dol-geth-lie) was once the administrative centre for the county of Merioneth. It retains a weekly livestock market and the narrow streets of the town have plenty of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. The main car park beside the Marian playing fields has public toilets.

The town has over 200 listed buildings, and a Town Trail Map (available from shops in the town) will guide you around the key features.

Dolgellau is a midpoint on Section B of the Mawddach Way and the start or finish of the Mawddach Trail. Bike Hire is available in the town.

For something a little different, why not explore some of the remains of 20th century military activity in the area. From hill-top memorials to beach defences, there are over 50 different sites in and around the Mawddach Estuary to be explored on foot, by bike or by car. See here for further details.
