Things to do

Explore the Cambrian Coast by train

The Cambrian Train Line runs all along the coast and it is truly breathtaking. Amazingly for its size, Aberdyfi has two train stations, one at either end of the village, Aberdyfi to the west and Penhellig to the east. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk down to Aberdyfi train station from Seaview Cottage.

Travel north to Barmouth, Harlech and the Llyn pennisular or south back to the vibrant market town of Machynlleth with its boutique shops and Museum of Modern Art (MOMA).  


You could never be bored in this part of Wales...
