Summary Description

Tywyn, which faces out over Cardigan Bay, developed as a holiday resort in the late C19 and early C20 most noticeably after John Corbert, a salt tycoon from Droitwich, bought the local estate. He then provided a hotel, assembly rooms, market hall, school and laid out an avenue to the sea and then the sea front. The Talyllyn Railway has its terminus here, it was the first of the narrow-gauge railways of wales to be restored.
