The area around Dolgellau.
Dolgellau is a dark-stone market town at the foot of Cadair Idris, near the head of the Mawddach estuary and once the centre of a Welsh gold rush. It is strongly Welsh-speaking and serves a wide farming area, while walkers, cyclists on the Mawddach Trail and festival-goers keep the cafés and guest houses busy in summer. A bilingual website, honest seasonal hours and a clear list of which outlying villages you serve help both residents and visitors.
Barmouth (7 miles), Harlech (12 miles), Tywyn (14 miles) and Porthmadog (16 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. A longer drive takes in Machynlleth (11 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Inside Dolgellau, the site can name areas such as Brithdir, Llanelltyd, Bontddu, Arthog, Ganllwyd and Rhydymain.
From our base in Exeter, Dolgellau is about 140 miles to the north. Its postcodes start LL.
