About

Arthog lies within the Llangelynnin ward, situated along the southern banks of the Mawddach Estuary. The area is defined by its position between the tidal waters and the steep, wooded slopes of the Coed y Brenin forest to the east. The settlement itself is small, with a scattering of houses and a historic church. The main A493 road runs through, connecting the area to Dolgellau and the coast.

The landscape is dominated by views across the estuary to the Cadair Idris range. A notable feature is the Victorian-era Arthog Waterfalls, where streams cascade down through oak woodlands to the shore. The area's network of footpaths includes sections of the Mawddach Trail, a route following a disused railway line along the estuary's edge, providing direct access to the expansive Barmouth Bridge.
