and Welcome to the web site of Bwlchgwyn Farm - North Wales.

Bwlchgwyn is a working sheep and cattle farm. Our farmland is situated on both sides of the A493 between Fairbourne and Arthog. Our main fields stretch down to the Mawddach Estuary and Barmouth beyond, with a footpath joining the Estuary walk to the beach or footbridge to Barmouth.

Our small caravan park has magnificent views over the estuary. Slightly elevated and well off the main road. There are 20 privately owned caravans and pitches occasionally become available. Bwlchgwyn is close to Fairbourne for all local amenities and ofcourse our 2 1/2 mile Blue Flag sandy beach, which is excellent for children and swimming. When the tide is out it leaves rockpools and miles of sand.

Fairbourne Village provides shops for everyday needs with a Post Office, Newsagents, Butchers, Green and normal Groceries, Cafes, as well as a Garage, Hotels, Bars, Restaurants, etc...

Barmouth, Dolgellau and Tywyn are only a few miles away whilst Snowdonia National Park spreads out northwards from Bwlch Gwyn. Porthmadog / Portmeirion Itallian village, Aberdovey can all be easily reached by car or train and are well worth a visit.

If your wish is for a quiet walk you can take a stroll on our farm land and have a picnic overlooking some of the best views in Wales or join our pony treks along the beach and estuary shoreline.

Fresh-water and sea fishing are available locally.

Local Attractions

In this beautiful area there are many varied local walks where visitors can see the abundance of wild flowers and birds. Walk to Barmouth across the famous B.R. Wooden bridge with glorious views and a walk across Arthog Bog to Penrhyn Point and the Barmouth Ferry is a must. Arthog and Friog waterfalls are a pleasant short evening walk. The nature walk along the disused GWR railway track to Arthog and Penmaenpool, where the old signal box is preserved and now being used as a RSPB Wildlife Centre, is exceptional with the ever changing light and moods over the estuary.

Cregennan Lakes and Cader Idris mountain range offer both great beauty and peace always within sight of the sea and estuary.

Our beautiful beach at Fairbourne has a two mile stretch of sand and is noted for safe bathing and water sports. The beach has also become known as one of the best in the area for Wind-surfing and other small craft are easily launched down a ramp or off the shingle at Penrhyn point. Where ever you are on Fairbourne beach the mountains form a close backdrop of scenic splendour.

Fairbourne is also the home of a narrow-gauge steam railway that runs to Penrhyn point for the ferry journey across to Barmouth.
