About Barmouth
The first record of Barmouth (or Abermaw) as a small port on the Welsh Coast was in 1565 in a survey commissioned by Queen Elizabeth I. Subsequently, Barmouth and the Afon Mawddach developed as one of the major ship building centres in Wales during the 18th and 19th centuries.For over a hundred years now Barmouth has been very popular as a holiday resort.
