Dolgellau sits on the south bank of the Wnion River at the foot of Cader Idris, (Cadair Idris) in the south of the Snowdonia National Park in north Wales. The area has long been known for it's walks, with rocky crags and clear streams crashing over waterfalls. The rich wildlife includes red squirrels, pine-marten, otters and deer, as well as goshawks and goosander. The Forest Park in Coed y Brenin is world renowned for it's fantastic network of Mountain Bike Trails. There is a restaurant and cycle shop (sales, repair, and hire) on the site and information on the many forest trails is to be found at the Visitor Centre.

It has been said that there is ""no better walk than from Barmouth through to Dolgellau other than from Dolgellau to Barmouth"" and I have to agree, the views of the Snowdonia mountains sweeping down to the Mawddach estuary are phenomenal. more information about Dolgellau
