Attractions / Activities
Dragon Theatre and Barmouth Community Centre
Attraction
Situated in the centre of Barmouth on the west coast of Snowdonia, this imposing, converted Victorian chapel houses a 186-seat traditional theatre auditorium, plus several other function and community meeting rooms including a second, studio stage
Fairbourne Railway
Attraction
It’s the smallest of Wales’s narrow-gauge railways, with a track width of only 12¼ins. So it’s dinky, it’s sweet – but it takes you on a railway ride through the dunes to some pretty big views of the Mawddach Estuary and mountains beyond.
Llanfair Slate Caverns
Attraction
The slate in this mine, which is found in veins between layers of ancient Pre-Cambrian rocks, is among the oldest in the world. Many industrial towns in Britain and Ireland have the original roofs made of Llanfair slate.
The Magic Lantern Cinema
Attraction
The Magic Lantern has been in Tywyn since 1893, and was first built as the town's assembly rooms. The Magic Lantern Cinema was one of the first operational cinemas in the UK with proof existing that films were shown here since 1900.
