Dollgellau is a
market town
lying on the
River Mawddach.
It was
originally a
Roman site, and
was also the
location of the
last Welsh
Parliament held
in 1404, under
Owen Glendower.
The town later
became known for
Gold
Prospecting, and
indeed today has
one of the only
sources of Welsh
Gold at "Gwynfynydd
Gold Mines".
The town is
popular for
activities such
as walking,
hiking, horse
riding and white
water rafting,
and the wild and
beautiful
surrounding
countryside
provides a
perfect setting
for this. |
