Location
Dinas Mawddwy is a small town and community located in the southern part of Gwynedd, Wales, within the picturesque Mawddwy valley. The area is known for its stunning natural scenery, nestled between the Aran Fawddwy mountains and the River Dyfi. Historically, Dinas Mawddwy has ties to both Welsh folklore and more recent history.
Dinas Mawddwy is situated in the traditional county of Merionethshire, which is now part of Gwynedd following administrative changes. It lies near the Aran Fawddwy mountain, one of the highest peaks in southern Eryri (Snowdonia), making it a great location for hiking and exploring the Welsh countryside.
The town is close to the source of the River Dyfi, which flows through the valley, adding to its scenic beauty.
The area is steeped in Welsh folklore, including the story of the Red Bandits of Mawddwy (Lladron Cochion Mawddwy), a notorious group of thieves from the 16th century. Legend has it that these bandits, dressed in red, terrorized the region until they were eventually hanged.
Dinas Mawddwy was historically known for its ironworks, mining, and slate industries. The Mawddwy railway once connected the area, although it was closed in the 20th century.
Given its proximity to Eryri (Snowdonia National Park), Dinas Mawddwy is popular with outdoor enthusiasts. The region offers walking trails, mountain biking routes, and opportunities for birdwatching and photography due to its rich natural environment.
The area is relatively less touristy compared to other parts of Eryri (Snowdonia), offering a peaceful and authentic Welsh experience. Visitors often stay in local cottages, bed and breakfasts, or campsites to explore both the surrounding mountains and nearby attractions, such as Lake Vyrnwy and Bwlch y Groes, one of the highest mountain passes in Wales.
Dinas Mawddwy may be a small, quiet town, but it offers a mix of history, nature, and Welsh culture, making it a charming spot for visitors seeking a more off-the-beaten-path experience.
Machynlleth is a historic market town located in Powys, Wales, not Gwynedd as is often mistaken due to its proximity. It lies near the Dyfi estuary and the southern boundary of the Snowdonia National Park, with rich cultural and historical importance.
Historically, Machynlleth is perhaps most famous for being the seat of Owain Glyndŵr’s Welsh Parliament in 1404 during his rebellion against English rule, earning it a special place in Welsh national history. The town is sometimes referred to as the ancient capital of Wales because of this. Owain Glyndŵr’s Parliament House is a notable landmark, symbolizing this historical significance.
The town itself is charming, with narrow streets, stone buildings, and a famous clock tower that stands at its heart. It has held a market charter since 1291, and the market continues to operate, making it one of the oldest in the UK. Machynlleth is also known for its role in promoting sustainability and green living, with the nearby Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) being a hub for environmental research, education, and advocacy.
Additionally, the surrounding area is popular with outdoor enthusiasts, offering walking, cycling, and nature exploration opportunities, particularly with its proximity to Eryri (Snowdonia National Park) and the Dyfi Biosphere, which is recognized by UNESCO for its ecological diversity.
Despite being a small town, Machynlleth is known for its vibrant arts scene, with annual festivals, galleries, and a community of artists. The Machynlleth Comedy Festival, held every spring, has gained nationwide recognition.
