Dolgellau

Dolgellau is a market town in Gwynedd, Wales, lying on theRiver Mawddach. It was formerly the county town of Merionethshire.

Originally a Roman military site, Dolgellau was the location of the last Welsh parliament, held in 1404 under Owen Glendower. It later became a haven for Quakers and was also known for gold prospecting.

Attractions in the town include the thirteenth century Cymer Abbey and nearby Cader Idris.
