"THERE IS NO BETTER WALK THAN THAT THROUGH
FROM BARMOUTH TO DOLGELLAU OTHER THAN FROM DOLGELLAU TO BARMOUTH".....
John Ruskin.
The proposed
path beside the railway linking the bridge and harbour, will further
enhance the walk which so impressed Ruskin, giving pedestrians, cyclists
and wheelchair users a safer route than the existing narrow pavement
between sheer rockface and the main A496. For more information see

THE
THREE PEAKS YACHT RACE is more than a boat race.
It is one of the world's oldest and best endurance events, and for Barmouth its a great day in town.
The 41st race commenced at Barmouth on Saturday 9th June 2018. Batala Bermo drummed and
people on the quay and breakwater applauded as the boats left harbour for
the start line out in the bay, heading for Fort William,
stopping only for the runners to ascend Snowdon, Scafell Pike, and finally
Ben Nevis. Congratulations to 2018 winners Wild Spirit. Next years race will begin on Saturday June
15th 2019. More details,
regular race reports, satellite tracking info etc. can be found at

Was JRR Tolkien's creation of Middle Earth
inspired by Barmouth?
Local resident and sculptor Mr
Frank Cocksey believes so. Mr Cocksey's work includes "The Last
Haul" on the harbour, sculpted from marble salvaged from the Bronze
Bell wreck of 1709. The sculpture represents three generations of
fishermen. The Bronze Bell shipwreck exhibition may be
seen in the tourist season above Davy Jones' Locker Restaurant just a short walk along the
quay.
