Area Details Borth-y-Gest is 1½ miles from Porthmadog with its supermarkets and large number of very interesting shops.
The village is dominated by the harbour where in the summer there are a number of boats moored. Away from the harbour there are a several sheltered coves with sandy beaches where it is ideal for children to play in the pools which abound on the banks at low tide.
Porthmadog used to be the centre of the Welsh slate industry. Slate paid for the causeway, called the Cob, which carries the road into Porthmadog across the Glaslyn Estuary and the Ffestiniog Railway, which is now one of the biggest holiday attractions in Wales, chugging for 22 kilometers (13.5 miles) through beautiful coastal and mountain scenery to Blaneau Ffestiniog. Another much shorter stretch of railway is the Welsh Highland Line, which is in the process of being restored and eventually will run from Porthmadog to Caernarvon.
On the harbour, a former slate storage shed now houses the Maritime Museum showing the life and history of the area.
Across the estuary is Portmeirion which is an Italianate village created by the late Cluff Williams Ellis, the village is well worth visiting.
Locally there are many pubs and restaurants which offer a high standard of food. There are also castles to be visited at Criccieth, Harlech, Caernarvon and Beaumaris on Anglesey. Anglesey is App. 30 miles from Borth-y-Gest where the National Trust owned Plas Newydd may be visited. Also worth a visit are the gardens of Bodnant. Snowdon is nearby and this makes for a good days climbing or for the not so energetic there is a train to the summit Travel Details Good bus service and nearby main line rail station
