Talsarnau.
The
village of Talsarnau, situated five miles to the north of
Harlech, is set on the shore of the Dwyryd estuary and overlooks
the Italianate village of Portmeirion. The area abounds in
wildlife and whilst walking in the foothills of the Harlech
dome you can drink in the unsurpassed views of Snowdon and
the Snowdonia range as well as marveling at the coastal scenery
of Porthmadog Bay and the Lleyn Peninsular.
The
village grew from the 18th century after completion of the
embankment, which cut off the sea from the lands between Harlech
Castle and the Dwyryd estuary, a distance of some 5 miles.
The
area boasts two hotels, one motel, one vegetarian hotel, one
guest house together with two public houses, offering guests
a whole range of accommodation within the stunningly beautiful
area surrounding the village of Talsarnau.
