Tywyn stands at the seaward end of the Dysynni valley and Cadair Idris stands at the head of the valley, with a south-west ridge going across Tyrrau Mawr. Situated on the West coast of Wales the sunsets are legendary and a real thing of beauty. Dolphins and Porpoises can often be seen coming into the bay.
There is loads to do for all ages in Tywyn. Here are some of our favourites
There is loads to do here for all ages and you can just park the car and enjoy the beach, the walks and the town. The beaches stretch as far as the eye can see and dogs are allowed on certain parts.

The outdoor leisure facilities behind the flat are great for mini golf, tennis courts, skittles, and crazy golf. Very well maintained and great for kids and adults. Really good value
At the bottom of the High Street is a beautiful restored 1920’s cinema called The Magic Lantern. Lovely secret garden at the back of it serving cocktails and snacks. It shows current films. Worth a visit
Lovely shops on the High Street. Mix of independent retailers, cafes , a great second hand book shop, ice cream shops etc… There is a large Co Op at the back of the flat (next to the train station) which is open till 10pm most days. Petrol station on the High Street as well.
There are lots of beautiful walks in this area.
If you turn left out of the flat and follow the promenade down onto the beach and keep walking, you will reach Aberdyfi. The walk is beautiful and is about 4 miles each way. Watch the tides as the majority of the walk is on the sand. You can get the train back or the local bus. See times below
There are some maps of local walks in the flat in the bookshelf drawer.
Steam train that has been running since 1865 ! Beautiful journey with lots of themed events on the train. There is a very popular race called Race the Train in August
The train station is about a 10 minute walk from the flat. Turn right and keep walking. Direct train from Birmingham New Street takes roughly 3 hours. Local line runs up and down the North Wales coast (ie Aberdyfi, Barmouth, Harlech etc…)
Regular bus service taking you to the local surrounding areas
