Morfa Gwyllt On the south side of the Dysynni estuary, northerly drift of sediment has created a spit across the river mouth. This provided a route for the railway (behind the camera). Across the (hidden) river is Tal y Gareg, with Tonfanau Quarry visible. I have no information about the cone.

Foreshore North of Tywyn This square contains only a small area of foreshore below the high water level and there are no navigation features. Position determined by GPS. The tide had just started to ebb when the photo was taken so no doubt more would be visible at low tide. Looking due south.
