Gorllewin Tywyn

About

Gorllewin Tywyn ward lies on the northern coast of Cardigan Bay, a coastal stretch defined by its extensive sandy beach and the Afon Dysynni estuary to its south. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing spreading inland from the seafront. The promenade and its amenities form a central focus, while the landscape gently rises toward the lower slopes of the Cadair Idris range in the hinterland.

The ward's character is closely tied to the sea and the expansive, often windswept, Tywyn Sands. A notable feature is the narrow-gauge Talyllyn Railway, which has its historic terminus here, connecting the town to the inland Abergynolwyn. The natural environment is significant, with the sand dunes and estuarine areas supporting local wildlife, and the beach serving as a consistent draw for visitors and residents alike.
