More Muslim Friendly Destinations from Dolgellau

Tucked away on the idyllic southern shore of the Mawddach estuary and the village of Penmaenpool is only three miles west of Dolgellau. Penmaenpool can be visited by road (A493) or via the disused railway line footpath and cycle route which starts near the main vehicle park in Dolgellau. The railway path "calls" first at Penmaenpool, but extends another three miles or so to Morfa Mawddach and the Barmouth railway bridge which can be crossed for a modest toll.

Continuing westwards from Penmaenpool and the primary street turns to the south at Fairbourne. From here it twists and turns along the cliff tops through the pretty village of Llwyngwril to Rhoslefain. Just a few miles to the south lies the town of Tywyn, with miles of sandy beach. Tywyn is also home to the famous Talyllyn Railway.

If you fancy a day at the seaside and then Barmouth is easily reached by local buses or by walking or cycling along the Mawddach Trail.
