Your guide to Dolgellau
All About Dolgellau
The small town of Dolgellau lies within the boundaries of Snowdonia National Park in northwest Wales at the foothills of Cadair Idris, the highest mountain in southern Snowdonia. Surrounded by rolling hills and mountain peaks, Dolgellau is a favourite starting point for hiking and biking trips, with numerous trails running through the town, making it easy to explore the wild Welsh countryside and mountainous landscape. Dolgellau is an old market town with narrow roads and tall, dark stone and slate buildings housing local restaurants, cafes, and shops selling everything from clothing and outdoor gear to candy and home decor. The town’s rich history, with some ruins dating from the 12th century, is also worth exploring through its many sites, including Cymer Abbey, St Mary’s Church, and the Dolgellau War Memorial.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Dolgellau
Summers are generally mild in this part of Wales, with warm, comfortable temperatures. Still, mornings may be chilly, so you’ll require a jacket regardless of what time of the year you stay in a holiday cottage in Dolgellau. Winters tend to be wet and cold, so it’s best to pack waterproof clothes and boots if you plan to do any hiking or outdoor activities. Spring through autumn is a popular time for local events. In July, check out the Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau, a summer festival featuring musical performances, comedy shows, and author readings. Spring welcomes the Llanbedr Beer Festival, which showcases popular beer and cider in the nearby town of Barmouth.

Ty Siamas
Located in Eldon Square in a 19th-century former market hall, Ty Siamas is the National Centre for Welsh Folk Music. The museum features interactive exhibits that focus on Welsh culture and music, and includes a neat collection of traditional instruments, such as harps, whistles, and flutes. You’ll also find a cafe, bar, and performance auditorium where musical events take place throughout the year.
Snowdon Mountain Railway
One of the best ways to experience the area’s mountains is to hop on the Snowdon Mountain Railway at Llanberis, a little over an hour north of Dolgellau. The journey takes around two hours and takes you over some of the area’s tallest peaks, with gorgeous views of lakes and rivers. Some visitors choose to climb the mountain to the small railway stations on the peaks and then ride the train back down.
