Craig-yr-Aderyn in the Dysynni Valley
Tywyn (pronounced "tuh-win") is a town and seaside resort in Gwynedd, Wales. The name is sometimes written in the anglicised form "Towyn". Tywyn sits on the Cardigan Bay shoreline of Mid Wales and is surrounded by the green valleys and hills of Bro Dysynni, which form the south-western corner of the Snowdonia National Park. It is most famous as the home of the Talyllyn Railway, and also as the location for an early Marconi radio transmitting/receiving station. It has attracted travellers for at least a thousand years, as the church of St Cadfan and its adjacent well have long been a site of pilgrimage. Modern pilgrims are more likely to "take the waters" somewhere along the 4 miles of sandy beach.
