- Fairbourne faces out towards the glorious Cardigan Bay, or more locally Barmouth Bay (Barmouth lies just to the north across the Mawddach Estuary)
Fairbourne also has the narrow-gauged Fairbourne Railway. There is also a mainline service which heads north towards Barmouth, Criccieth, Harlech and Pwllheli; or southwards to either Machynlleth, Aberystwyth or Shrewsbury - service is usually every 2 hours
Most visitors head to the southern edge of the long beach, probably because the tide comes in nearer, though the northern end is a lot quieter and has some nice sand dunes
It is possible to enjoy some of the day at Barmouth which would make a pleasant diversion. If not by train, you could travel by the miniature railway and take the ferry across the estuary, or if you have the time even walk across Barmouth Bridge (now free I believe). Motorists wishing to reach Barmouth would have to travel inland to the toll bridge at Penmaenpool
Formerly part of Merionethshire, Fairbourne is now part of Gwynned. The most recent status listed the population at 1174. The town will however cater for the visitor, with a fair number of shops, including a convenience shop and a chip shop

Used to go there as a child with my parents. Their ashes are now scattered there. Went there after a terrible divorce. It's a healing place
Got my own bungalow down there too love going down there to play with my wonderful friends
15:36 My Grandparents bungalow on the very left with the 2 large windows. Spent many a happy summer there. Summer of 76 heatwave. F4 Phantoms flying overhead. Jill and Susan harris that lived on Llewellyn Drive. Swimming in the sea at night.. Great times.
Lovely place to visit away from loads of people. Enjoy a clean beach
Very true. And very under-rated (which is why it's so quiet?)
Thank you for posting this. I have had fantastic holidays camping at the local farm. Wishing I was there right now.
Me too (although might wait for Spring and warmer weather to arrive!)
I love this place....Superb....Go every year for our main camping holiday. Really friendly place....and yeah ssshhhhhhh dont tell everybody
True - it is a great place! It seems to go unnoticed by most people who regularly head for the Cambrian Coast
Thanks, that is a lovely film!X
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wish they could stop going on about the town disappearing underwater - doesn't bear thinking about

Gwynedd... Spent nearly 20 years on Heol Rowen

My friends street name
@@altonalex1235 No. Returned to Yorkshire. Good job really as In 20-30 years it'll be under the sea as Gwynedd Council not repairing/maintaining the sea defences, leaving it to the sea.
I don't think it will really go under i think it's got something to do with the fact it's an English place lots of Welsh don t like us😞
