Things to see and do Barmouth (Abermaw)

The beginning of the trail starts at the end of Porkington Terrace. For the less courageous, Panorama Walk has the advantage of leading to a beautiful viewpoint only a few meters from the main street. About ten minutes, and bang! A classic at Barmouth, since the Victorian era!

It was the first piece of land to become the property of the National Trust in 1895, and the people of Barmouth are very proud of it. From the top, you can admire Cardigan Bay, the Caernarfon Hills and even Bardsey Island. The trail runs along the cliff for 5 km and offers an impressive panorama of the town, the estuary and Cader Idris.

It's accessed by a path on the High Street. You will come face to face with "the Frenchman's grave" where Auguste Guyard, a Frenchman who lived in Barmouth, a great friend of Victor Hugo, is buried.

The Sailor's Institute is a nice little free museum. The reading room has hardly been touched since the opening of the premises, which retain their Victorian atmosphere. A collection of paintings and model ships is on display. The museum is housed in one of the oldest houses in the village, built in 1460, and also exhibits pieces from the wreck of a galleon found by divers in the summer of 1978, including a beautiful engraved bronze bell and precious marbles from Italy!
