Things to see and do Dolgellau

An amazing museum for a confidential community, the Quaker community. Many villagers converted to this religion after its founder, George Fox, visited the village in 1657. In total opposition to the Anglicans and their attachment to dogma, the Quaker movement, which was very independent, insisted on the mystical notion of "inner light", which made the followers suspect in the eyes of the local religious authorities. So they were forced to emigrate to Pennsylvania. A film and photographs trace the life of this community.

These two superb lakes surrounded by mountains are today a meeting place for trout fishermen. It is also a great place for a quiet stroll or a picnic. The views from this site, located at an altitude of 250 metres, are spectacular. This place of particular beauty is now managed by the National Trust. It is a British association which aims at the defence and development of heritage. Today it owns 250,000 hectares of land, 1,200 km of sides and 300 historical monuments.
