BarmouthBarmouth is a traditional seaside resort dating from Victorian times, developed because of the 2 miles of unbroken golden sands.  Situated in Cardigan Bay, it used to be a medieval port, now it's a picturesque old harbour town. Places to visit are the 2253-foot long rail bridge and the 13th century parish church with its two 5th-century standing stones.The Fairbourne & Barmouth Railway runs steam engines on its 2-mile long track between Fairbourne Station and Penrhyn Point, site of the Pullman Pavilion Restaurant, where passengers can embark on the Ferry to Barmouth. Dinas Olau on the cliffs high above the town was the first property that the National Trust acquired in 1895 - in Britain, not just in Wales. Just to the east of the town, a spectacular walk, the Panorama Walk, branches off to the north of the main road, and follows a series of terraces upwards, with views over the estuary. In the summer there's traditional donkey rides, swing boats and amusement arcades and walking is popular in the mountains and forests.
