ABERDYFI VILLAGE
A fishing village on the Dyfi (Dovey) estuary, the village centres around the original harbour, jetty and beach, but it stretches back from the coast and up the steep hillside in the midst of typical Welsh coastal scenery of steep green hills and sheep farms.
During the 1800s Aberdyfi was a busy port with a significant ship building industry, this drew to a close in the early 1900s. In 1941 the first Outward Bound school was opened near Picnic Island, and helped to inspire Aberdovey Swim.

TAL Y LLYN LAKE
Tal Y Llyn Lake is a stunning glacial ribbon lake at the foot of Cadair Idris in the hamlet of Tal Y Llyn. Runners have permission from the Hotel to take a soothing post-race dip!
In 1976 renowned author Susan Cooper used the lake as a setting for the book The Grey King. Within the lake six sleepers lie, wakened by Will Stanton playing the Harp of Gold.
