Brief Description:

Dolgellau is a quiet market town that lies within the Snowdonia National Park and was once a centre for the Welsh wool industry. Most of the buildings in the town are built of dark slate which gives it a very distinctive feel.

The current town started life on the site of a Roman military installation in the 12th century and was, in 1404, the site of the last Welsh Parliament under Owain Glyndwr. The 19th century saw the town become famous for Welsh gold, with the Gwynfynydd Gold Mine still working today.
