Bryn Dwyryd is a hill located in the county of Merionethshire, Wales. It is situated in the Snowdonia National Park, offering breathtaking views and a serene environment. With an elevation of approximately 185 meters (607 feet), it is not considered a particularly high mountain, but it still offers a challenging hike for outdoor enthusiasts.

The hill is characterized by its rugged and rocky terrain, covered in lush green vegetation, heather, and scattered wildflowers during the warmer months. The path to the summit is well-marked, making it accessible to both experienced hikers and beginners. Along the way, walkers can enjoy the diverse flora and fauna of the area, including various bird species and small mammals.

At the top of Bryn Dwyryd, visitors are rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. On clear days, it is possible to see the majestic peaks of Snowdonia, including Mount Snowdon itself, the highest mountain in Wales. The hill also provides an excellent vantage point to admire the tranquil waters of the nearby Dwyryd Estuary, which stretches towards the coast.

Bryn Dwyryd is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, hillwalking, and nature photography. Its proximity to other notable attractions in Snowdonia, such as Portmeirion and Harlech Castle, makes it an ideal location for day trips or longer stays. Whether seeking adventure or simply looking to immerse oneself in nature, Bryn Dwyryd offers a memorable and picturesque experience for visitors of all ages.

Farm Buildings, Trwyn-y-garnedd The A487 is one of the most important roads in Wales. It covers the majority of the west coast from St Davids to Menai Bridge, and is a primary route for most of its length, including a section where it multiplexes with the A470, another important north-south road. Along the way, it runs through two national parks: Snowdonia and Pembrokeshire Coast. Despite its length and importance, it is predominantly single carriageway, although the road has been upgraded in numerous places. It is 174 miles long. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A487" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A487">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

'Earl of Merioneth' at Penrhyndeudraeth – 1970 Heading towards Portmadoc with a train of 'Centenary Stock'.

The station has lost its passing loop and siding, and the locomotive, although carrying the same name, is completely different, being built new between 1972 and 1979 as a replacement for the locomotive in my view. The first 'Earl of Merioneth' was withdrawn in 1971 with a view to rebuilding, but pressure to retain it in its still (more or less) original condition finally led to it being cosmetically restored under its original name of 'Livingstone Thompson'. In 2021 it is on loan to the National Railway Museum at York <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6981009" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6981009">Link</a>
