About

Gogledd Dolgellau ward encompasses the northern half of the town of Dolgellau and its immediate surrounding upland area. The ward is defined by the River Wnion to the south and extends into the lower slopes of the Aran and Cadair Idris ranges. This area includes residential streets, local services, and historic buildings that form the town's core, alongside farmland and wooded valleys that characterise the outskirts.

The ward's landscape is deeply influenced by its geological history, with ancient bedrock visible throughout. A network of footpaths leads from the town directly into the mountainous terrain, connecting urban and rural environments. The area's development has been shaped by its historical role as a market centre and its location at the confluence of several rivers.
