Abergynolwyn
This small inland village lies in the Dysynni valley between Towyn and Tal-yLlyn, and is the terminus of the small-gauge railway from Towyn. From here there is an ascent of Cader Idris.
At one time, Abergynolwyn was actually just two seperate hamlets - Cwrt and Pandy, which were situated at opposite ends of the present village. It was only with the introduction of the nearby Bryneglwys slate quarry that a railway line was constructed, creating today's village of Abergynolwyn.
