Barmouth lies on the west coast of North Wales at the mouth of the River Mawddach, between the mountains of Snowdonia National Park and the sea. The Mawddach estuary is an area of immense beauty and a haven for seabirds. The old town of Barmouth is built on a steep hill and the view across the estuary of Barmouth rail-viaduct is breathtaking. On the south side of the estuary is the Fairbourne & Barmouth Railway which was laid in 1895 to transport building materials for the construction of Fairbourne village. The line is two miles long and a steam train runs between Fairbourne Station and Penrhyn Point, where passengers embark or disembark the Barmouth ferry.
