De Dolgellau

About

De Dolgellau ward encompasses the historic market town of Dolgellau and its immediate rural surroundings. The town is situated at the foot of Cader Idris, a prominent mountain that defines the southern skyline. The area includes the River Wnion, which flows through the town and meets the River Mawddach nearby. The ward's landscape is characterised by a mix of town streets, agricultural land, and the lower slopes of the mountainous terrain.

The town centre retains a distinctive architectural character with many buildings constructed from local grey stone. The area is a known starting point for several walking routes into the surrounding mountains and forests. Economic activity is centred on local services, tourism, and agriculture, with the weekly market remaining a functional part of town life. The Precipice Walk, a notable circular path, offers views over the Mawddach estuary from its northern rim.
