What did you think of Barmouth?

Barmouth, also known as Abermaw or Y Bermo, is a lovely place. When I was a teenager it was the cool place to be; hanging round the fair by day and sneaking into the Sandancer club at night, when we perhaps weren't quite old enough... 😅 More recently The Dragon Theatre had great Jazz gigs in the basement. Thank you for showing what a beauty of a place Barmouth is, although it's just up the coast from me, I rarely get there these days, so I really enjoyed your tour.

We spent many a happy holiday just outside Barmouth. Stunning place, the beaches are amazing, all the way over to Harlech. Apart from some shops, nothing much has changed here in years. Thank you so much for this post ❤

Barmouth is a lovely mix of old world town, seaside and beautiful scenery. I love it ! Your film brought back happy memories of summer days spent there with my girls 😊

My main Barmouth memory from 1965 as a six-year-old is the relentless pouring rain and the lamp post that made a dent in my Dad's car when he reversed into it! I have since learned that much of Wales looks a lot better on a sunny day, and that your tours are enjoyable.

Can't believe I haven't heard of this beautiful place. Looks well worth a visit 👍

I spent most of my childhood here, I had some amazing summers here and still visit every year, it's beautiful 💖

I’d never even heard of Barmouth and just had to visit after seeing this video. What a beautiful place . We had lovely weather and whiled away a good few hours on the beach

Definately!!! I haven't been for about 10 years so great to see it on a sunny day 😎 An absolute gem of a town Harlech and Barmouth are my favourite beaches in Wales. And Fairbourne is worth a visit too. Watch out for Weaver Fish which have burrow under the sand in the sea and have spines which can give you a nasty sting.you go in the sea wear something on your feet About 2 hours from where I live and the drive there is breath taking. I liked it that much I got married a few miles away in Dolgellau.

I used to go to Talybont on holiday every year as child in the 60’s and 70’s and we’d pop in to Barmouth. When I was around 14, me, my brother and cousin went there on the train as there wasn’t enough room for us in the car. The trip was stunning along part of the coast and we came over the estuary bridge into Barmouth, where we were met by Uncle & Aunt and taken to the caravan site. Kids couldn’t do that today sadly. It’s been many years since I’ve been back, but this brings back a lot of memories as lately I’ve yearned to go back and revisit.

As a North Walian myself, I'm a little ashamed to say I had no idea Barmouth was this nice! I went there a couple of times as a kid for days at the beach, but I'm thinking we couldn't have strayed too far from the vicinity of the train station. The actual town and harbour is lovely!

Wonderful video. I first came to Barmouth in 1959 when I was 5 years old on the train from Walsall, West Midlands. I remember getting off the train at Tal-y-bont Halt. We walked down the narrow stonewalled lane to a caravan site located just behind the beach. I have been in love with the area ever since and now have my own caravan located just off that lane I walked down those many years ago. Happy, happy sunfilled days.

I come from Wolverhampton and love Welsh Wales in general, but particularly love Barmouth. Been there loads of times.

Hi Tim. My husband and I got married in Ty'r Graig castle in Barmouth. It over looks that beautiful beach. And when our eldest daughter was young (she's got a newborn son herself now) we used to spend hours and hours at the harbour crabbing. It's just an absolutely blissful place to be/visit with some gorgeous restaurants. And as long as you have the weather for it it makes you believe you are abroad ❤

I absolutely love Barmouth, I visited a couple of times last year with my parents and my 3 kids. The eldest 2 are in their mid to late teens and unfortunately, they complain when I tell them that we are going to Barmouth again. They get bored easily, it's a shame they don't enjoy the simple things in life. I love walking around the little town, looking in all the shops and restaurants/cafes and just sitting by the beach. I would love to live there.

Barmouth was the last holiday I went on with my parents in about 1973. We stayed in the Min Y Mor hotel right next to the beach. Bombed across in my Dad's maroon Ford Anglia at night. Remember going through Corby and seeing the Iron Foundry in action. It took 10 hours to get there from Caister. Dad was concerned about negotiating 1 in 4 hills without the brakes failing or the clutch burning out. Spent many days on that lovely beach and watching the sun going down over the sea. Made 2 friends who liked Footy and Tennis, Belinda from Alveston & Richard from Dursley. After Mum passed in 2015 to join Dad, I returned with my wife in 2016. The hotel is still there and has been extended. Thanks Tim for reminding me of a brilliant holiday and great memories.

Of course it's worth a visit, it my favourite seaside town. Thank you for going there Tim, and reminding me of what makes it so brilliant. I love that it never changes, and it never disappoints. What about the scenery too, isn't it beautiful? I wonder where you're going next 🤔 Aberystwyth maybe?

I spent two weeks there, years ago. First week, glorious sunshine; second week, apocalyptic rain for seven days.

I've got a classic motorcycle and am down to Barmouth today. Lovely run down from Bala and then back up the coastline - wonderful.

I’ve never liked those Russian dolls, they’re just so full of them selves. Love Barmouth I’ve been going for years I had a caravan over the estuary at Llwyngwril and there’s some awesome places to camp and take a camper van too locally, Harlech castle is a must ❤️❤️❤️

This was my childhood destination, my Husband is taking me back in 10 days. This place is so special to me as it's where i would make the most special memories with my Grandparents from birth. Their ashes were scattered here just this year, they loved this place ❤ im so excited.

Barmouth is brill we first came as a couple on a Royal Enfield motor bike tent and all stayed the other end of the beach at Hendre Mynach camp site 40 years ago. Still visit there but in our camper its a lovely place.

Oh I've only been to Barmouth for a day out but that was years agoits a love place

June 2015 went on hendre mynach campsite & it rained every day for a week ..but been there many times with the kids & had lovely weather & we still love the place

I spent 12 years there and loved it. Would love to go back and live. It's a friendly place with lots going on in the summer. I've seen some of the. Best sunsets there. It's just beautuful.

Looks so pretty, what a gem of a place! I’d never heard of it before but will be on my list now. The sandy beach is gorgeous🥰🥰

Been visiting here since my 80s childhood. Has one of the cleanest beaches, and is a really sweet little town, with some amazing scenery. I hope it never loses its character or reputation

Never been. It looks lovely. It’s quite old-fashioned but with the new eateries and statues. Quaint. Far less brash than some of the other Welsh resorts. Nice place to go for the day or the weekend in good weather. What’s amazing is that there’s no plastic waste on the beach. Railway station entrance needs a lick of paint!

We camped at Talybont five miles outside Barmouth for over 15 years. Lovely area, well worth walking over the half mile long bridge at the side of the railway. Nice chippy as well.

Have lived in Sydney for years , but Barmouth was the place I’d go every year when I was a kid growing up in London Love Barmouth, always remember the arcades and the fish and chips and Sangria restaurant as it was called back in the 70s, near the train station. takes me back this video , hope to visit again soon , thanks again for the video 👍

Back in June great place to be. Staying on a camp site 😊

Absolutely love Barmouth. One of my favourite places in my favourite country. So many lovely memories of this place..

Came here nearly every year, mid eighties to.mid nineties, my overriding memory is my first wasp sting!

We go to Shell Island often so know Barmouth well.We were there 2 weeks ago and that red landrover just after The Lobster Pot was parked in the same place!

I go here every year on holiday and have enjoyed it every time. The shops and food are amazing

Love Barmouth very nice place . 1st visited Barmouth 1985 .really enjoying these trips you do .your little baby is so beautiful .☀️⛱️👍☕🌼

I've been to Barmouth yearly ever since I was a kid. It was our go to holiday home when we needed to get away from everything. We stop at Barmouth bay holiday park further down the coast. Surprisingly it's always pretty quiet and peaceful. Going for evening walks on the beach and watching the sunset with my family was always my favourite thing. Furthermore you just can't beat freshly made doughnuts on the coast. This year I turn 18 and we just went last Easter. Time flies way too fast. Now I'm about to take my a level exams next week and hopefully go to University. No matter what happens this will always be my happy place and seeing this video makes me miss it already. Can't wait to go back next year and sit for hours watching the tides.

Barmouth is my favourite seaside town, I have been going there for 40 years and I have many fond family memories of the town by the sea, watching my children grow up, I never ever get tired of it. The very best place for a children's summer holiday, there's just everything there that you will need and great safe beaches for the children. The beach at Dyffryn Arduddwy , a small village on the road out of Barmouth towards Harlech is an absolute gem, fabulous for children , and you can park your car within 100 yards of the beach. Lots of rabbits in the sandunes! A great video Tim, but I will add a little additional attraction which I would suggest you visit which most visitors are unaware of. Walking down Barmouth high street take one of the back streets, and find Gloddfa Road, it's very steep, so beware if you have a heart condition, after about 100 yards you will start to see the wonderful views over Barmouth Bay, and on the right hand side look for a gate, and here I plagiarise from someone else's observations; Quote ' On the slopes of Dinas Olau above Barmouth is a small walled area. Known as the Frenchman's Grave, this is the burial place and memorial of Auguste Guyard, a French philosopher who came to Barmouth after fleeing from the Siege of Paris. On the wall is a plaque which says: Here lies a sower who Sowed right up to the grade, Truth, goodness and beauty, with idolatry, Through a thousand battles of the pen and of the hands. Such works in this world are not compensated for. The Frenchman's Grave is a good vantage point for views over the harbour, Mawddach Estuary and down the coast towards Fairbourne.' Unquote. Everytime I visit Barmouth I have to go there, and each time the climb is harder, but well worth it. Enjoy.

Always return to Barmouth! In fact we are heading there in less than 2 weeks! Can’t wait …

My wife has been nagging me for years for us to visit this place... now after watching your video, it's on the list. Thankyou Tim 🙏

Hi. Tim I remember many years ago me and my late husband going on holiday here in our camper van we stayed at a lovely camping and caravanning club site I am hoping to go on a day trip on a coach in August it will surely bring happy memories back

Brought back many happy memories thank you. I doubt this place will ever lose its charm ❤

Great little vlog ! Last time I was there I was 13 , forty- six years ago , " Zebra striped trunks " ! At least they weren't flared lol : )

I first went to Barmouth as a 15 year old in 1968, fell in love with the place and the surrounding area, seen many changes over the years but it still my favourite holiday destination ..Its great for young families and pensioners but no so great for teenagers etc.

I love Barmouth with ALL my heart as i have been there hundreds of time, it is well worth a visit most definitely!

I have been going to Barmouth as a child since 1967. My parents owned and house just outside Barmouth and my Dad's side of family can trace his family back to the area from 1596. His GGG Granddad lived in a house in Harlech when the castle was occupied! Even now I still own a holiday home there and go back and forth nearly every two or so months to get from London. It's not so much the Barmouth, but the area. Also due to the position of Barmouth sandwiched between the sea, The Mawddach and hills behind it, it has remained pretty much as it was since 1960s! I have photos of Barmouth that my parents took in the 1960's and they are virtually identical to now albeit new cars and plastic windows. That's partly the allure! It never changes....

You brought the weather with you! good man ☺

I went to Barmouth many years ago it was lovely then so glad it's still lovely and pretty I remember sitting on a wall on the sea front thank you for showing us as I now have seen bits of Barmouth I have not seen before

Been going to barmouth every year since I was a kid in 1988, I get the pleasure of now taking my kids and sharing all my memories. My favourite place in the world

Been going there for years and never get bored of the place. Just love it

That was such a nice and enjoyable video. Thank you. It’s many years since I went to Barnmouth. I went to college in Harlech 32 yrs ago. Xxx

Just so peacefull

Thanks Tim,beautiful little town,been many times in the past,we used to stay every year at a friends in Dinas Mawwdwy ,which is fairly near.Not been now for quite a few years so it was a lovely reminder of Barmouth and the welsh coast. 😀😎

The panoramic walk at Barmouth is well worth a go, fantastic scenery

Loved Barmouth absolutely brilliant stop off place to explore beautiful Wales I stopped off for 3 days on way to Portmerion. I can't wait to go back

Absolutely GORGEOUS 😍 ❤️ 💖 This place ...the mountains/ ocean remind me of Italy !! 👍👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💕💞

Been to Barmouth many times first time with 2 of my children in 1975. Have swum in the sea here, Came several times over the years Loved it. Remember the tornadoes flying down the estuary. Lots of memories. Not been since 1996. Must go back. Soon

I lived down the coast in Aberystwyth a while back for a few years and visited Barmouth a couple of times, lovely beach! Borth, Ynyslas, Aberystwyth, Aberaeron and Newquay (the Welsh seaside village) are also really nice places to visit in summer along the western coast.

Breathtakingly beautiful on a sunny day 😎👍

My grandparents had a house there when I was little so I used to go a lot. I’ve been a few times in the last couple of years and it’s still as nice. A lot of childhood memories there.

It looks beautiful! Times like this I really wish I could drive as it’s over 5 hours on the train to visit which I’d struggle with. For now I’ll just keep rewatching this lovely video. Xx

My grandparents have a caravan there and I’m going to be honest after going for nine years it can feel worn out having exhausted all the activities but it’s definitely worth a visit. Such a great place!

I been going to Barmouth since I was 6 months old and 4 times a year to the same campsite as well and it my favourite place so yeh I totally recommended to visit

I just thought i'd let u know I have booked a 3 night stay in june with the wife and a couple of friends - always great to go to a place you aint been before !! cheers for the info Tim

Stopped over in September 2023 in a motorhome ,the weather was fantastic and well worth a longer stay in the future ..sat at The Bath House with a coffee or two just admiring the scenery...

Love the walk over the rail bridge . View down the valley is superb 👍😍

Just got back Friday from camping in Barmouth it's a nice place beach is lovely especially when the sun is shining and great walks too worth a visit

Nicely put over n enjoyable viewing, lovely day for you thank you for sharing your video, Take care all the best n cheers.

I will have a fry up and wow what a lovely place.

I go to Barmouth every year for the holidays and stay a week in the sunny sands caravan park I totally agree you feel like you’re abroad when you’re there with nice weather I go very often because it’s so gorgeous and me and my family love it there. Yes the water is super clear isn’t it but you can never beat the views in the holiday park where we go too . Great vlog pal ! 😃

Thank You Tim.

I spent many many happy weeks in Barmouth kn holiday, love the place. Walk over the bridge its amazing. Also If you go to Barmouth, go by train, it's one of the most beautiful train rides in the country.

, Dolgellau is also lovely and quaint with great walks

A place i always go back to since i was a kid!!! Really fond memories

I go every year..going next month..stay in a cottage close by its so nice x

Wow! This looks like a lovely place. Went there as a child with my parents but remember nothing about it. I'd definitely visit here for a long weekend if I wasn't on the other side of the Atlantic ocean.

Brilliant video again Tim, very appealing place. Been there many times. Back 30 more years ago, there was the Barmouth mini trains but all gone now.

Stunning beach at Barmouth, loved the sand dunes, only visited for the day and probably didn't see most of it ! Would love to go back

Mum & Dad took us to Shell Island, just a few miles up the coast for 15 years running, so I know Barmouth, Harlech, Lovely corner of the world.

We lived just outside Barmouth in a small village called Llanaber it was our home from 1984 - 2000 it's a beautiful place that gave us many happy fond memories ❤

Awesome video buddy. I have never been to barmouth so searched on KZfaq for a video. After seeing this I have booked 2 nights camping for just me and my motorbike 🏍 😍😍😍

First time ive ever seen Barmouth so thank you. Hopefully visit soon. Lovely place.

Hi Tim we went on holiday to North Wales in 2015 we spent a little time visiting Barmouth. We also visited Bets Wy coed which is in the snowdonia. It's a beautiful place as well as swallow falls all worth a visit. Thanks for sharing with us love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

Lovely video enjoyed this place, idea for families , plenty to do

Just got back from a week in Barmouth, we are there every year and love it! Thank you for the video.. 👍🏻😎

Barmouth is beautiful 😍 the beach is gorgeous 😍 my family moved there from Wolverhampton many years ago and they love it ❤️

Did this exact walk but in reverse when we visited last year. We had very similar sunny, warm weather it was beautiful. I believe I also exclaimed that it was like being abroad at the time.

Lovely town, very bustling and in an incredibly beautiful area with loads to see and do.

Hi Tim .. so sorry I missed you today. It is a beautiful place. So nice to see people out again enjoying the day and the sun. Hope you had a wonderful time Tim . Views are so pretty. The beach looks amazing. Thanks so much Tim for taking us all away on a walk. ☀️

You are so brilliant at Vlogging...so crystal clear and you make me want to viist most of the places.
