BARMOUTH (Abermaw, mouth of the Maw, or Mawddach) is a sea-side town on the north bank of the Mawddach estuary, Merionethshire, north Wales. Pop. U.D. (1931) 2,491. Until the advent of the railway it was secluded. It is on the coast route of the old Cambrian (now G.W.R.) line, with connections via Dolgelly to the Welsh border. The railway facilities, together with the fine mountain and river scenery of the neighbourhood, have made it a well-known summer resort.
