About

Abermaw ward lies on the northern coast of Cardigan Bay, centred on the town of Barmouth. The area is defined by the estuary of the River Mawddach, with a long wooden railway bridge connecting to the opposite shore. The ward includes the lower slopes of the Dinas Oleu hillside, which was the first land donated to the National Trust.

The local economy is linked to tourism and the sea, with a harbour and a historic high street running parallel to the shoreline. The Cambrian Coast railway line provides a direct link along the coast. The surrounding landscape is characterised by the extensive Mawddach estuary, with views towards the mountainous terrain of southern Snowdonia.
