General
- Peaceful site five minutes' walk from Fairbourne on the Gwynedd coast
- Half an hour's drive from Barmouth beach, bridge and estuary
- Bala White Water Centre and Penygader trails within 45 minutes' drive
Dolphin pods, dragon's teeth and secret lakes where the river meets the sea... come and join the folk at Ynys Faig Farm, five minutes' amble from Fairborne and half an hour's drive from the beach at Barmouth.
Small sorts will probably excitedly ask about the dragon's teeth first: these are on the sands at Fairborne and are tank traps laid out in World War II to thwart enemy invasion. You'll find a friendlier welcome these days, with two dog-walking areas at either end of the beach and a fine spread of pubs, eats and shops in town.
Kids will likely be chuffed at the thought of a vintage train ride too, so take them on the narrow-gauge railway from Fairborne up to Penryhn Point, a spit of sand and shingle where the Mawddach estuary flows into the Irish Sea. From there, catch the ferry from there over to Barmouth for walks over the estuary bridge and the chance to spot dolphins in the waters below.
This peaceful place on the Gwynedd coast is regularly hailed by visitors for its friendly vibe and scenically hilly backdrop, as well as its modern amenities of toilets, hot showers and a washing-up area. There aren't many rules: dogs are welcome, barbecues are fine and you can hire firepits and buy wood for outdoor feasting.

Local attractions
Barmouth half an hour's drive away is more than the mouth of a river, of course: the beach is a hit with families and standup paddleboarders and the harbour's handy for boat trips out to see the seal colonies and dolphin pods.
If you're chasing bigger thrills on water, make a beeline for the National White Water Centre 40 minutes away at Bala, where kayakers and rafters zoom down the dam-fed river towards Lake Bala. A 50-minute drive away, Zip World Slate Caverns in Blaenau Ffestiniog give you the white-knuckle experience at height, flying through former slate quarries.
For a quieter experience, drive for under five minutes to the paths to Blue Lake, where a hidden tunnel leads into a former slate quarry surrounded by high cliffs; the mineral-rich waters are a remarkable colour matched only by the coastal views from the top. (The rocks around the lake can be slippy so unless you're a medal-winning wild swimmer, maybe save your breaststroke for the beach.)
If you want to spend more time on the coastline, head 20 minutes to Dolgellau for the Mawddach Trail, nine miles of nature-filled peace along a former railway line, landing handily back in Barmouth for a paddle and an ice cream (or a chicken tikka at the town's tandoori).
For heights, wilderness and true solitude, paths up Penygader mountain start 45 minutes' drive away.
