Robert has recently made three expeditions in his famous 'mobile studio' to river-estuaries in the areas around Barmouth and Tywyn in mid-North Wales. Painting on location this March and April, Robert's aim was 'to capture the pure brilliance of the winter sun particularly when reflected on the wind- generated ripples of the water.' The resulting paintings immediately transport the viewer, evoking perfectly the weather, season and time of day they were painted. Robert always meticulously records the exact time and date he completes each piece. Prices start at £495. Pictured: Robert Perry at work on the edge of the River Dysynni 19/4/15 Don't miss out!

  • DWYRYD ESTUARY and MORFA HARLECH Component Lcas (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component Lcas (Gwynedd): Porthmadog
    SEASCAPE CHARACTER AREA 21: DWYRYD ESTUARY AND MORFA HARLECH Component LCAs (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component LCAs (Gwynedd): Porthmadog Location and Context This SCA is located in the northern part of the west Snowdonia coast. It includes the Dwyryd estuary from its mouth near Porthmadog to its inland tidal limit at Tan-y-bwlch. It also includes Morfa Harlech on the southern shore of the estuary, and the towns of Harlech and Penrhyndeudraeth. To the north is SCA 20: Porthmadog and Glaslyn Estuary, to the west is SCA 19: Criccieth to Mochras, and to the south is SCA 22: Mochras to Fairbourne and Sarn Badrig. View across the Dwyryd Estuary from Ynys, showing intertidal habitats, the village of Portmeirion and the mountains of Snowdonia forming the backdrop. Image © Fiona Fyfe Summary Description Views of this SCA are dominated by the broad landform of the Dwyryd estuary, with its extensive salt marshes, sand, mud and dune system (Morfa Harlech). The estuary also contains distinctive ‘islands’ and ridges of higher ground on either side. Overlooking the estuary are the contrasting villages of Harlech (with its Medieval castle on the valley side), Portmeirion with its Italianate architecture, and the industrial village of Penrhyndeudraeth. Surrounding the estuary are the wooded hills of Snowdonia, which form a majestic backdrop to picturesque views from lower land. In the eastern part of SCA, the valley narrows as the river flows inland. Here, the Afon Dwyryd has been heavily modified flows between areas of improved grazing, with main roads on both sides of the valley floor.

  • Executive Summary
    Dysynni Salmon Action Plan 2008 Executive Summary • This Dysynni Salmon Action Plan (SAP) review is to fulfil part of the requirements of the 1996 ministerial directive, “A Strategy for Management of Salmon in England and Wales”. The Dysynni Salmon Action Plan was originally produced in 1997. • The Dysynni (SAP) review has undergone a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) to ensure that the future implementation of the actions it contains do not impact the environment negatively. • The Dysynni (SAP) underwent a consultation process with Dysynni anglers, Countryside Council Wales (CCW), Gwynedd County Council and Snowdonia National Park to ensure that other interests were included into the plan. • The main factors limiting fish stocks in the Dysynni are similar to those outlined in the first salmon action plan document, these include: weed growth, restricted access, water quality, physical habitat and exploitation. • The actions contained in this document aim to improve the Dysynni fish stocks over five years. Any actions in this plan that are highlighted in yellow may not be achieved in the next five years but possibly within the next ten years. • A programme to monitor this review document and the actions it contains has been completed and has been included. 1 Dysynni Salmon Action Plan 2008 Introduction General The Environment Agency’s strategy for the management of salmon fisheries in England and Wales requires the production of a individual Salmon Action Plan (SAP) for each principal salmon river. As well as updating these plans at regular intervals, they will be progressively integrated to the 6-yearly Water Framework Directive Planning Cycle.

  • Race the Train and Me
    Barnet & District Athletic Club Newsletter, Dec 2001 RACE THE TRAIN AND ME N. H. BINGHAM We spend our family holidays in North Wales (Dolgellau), and love the Tal y Llyn Railway, a narrow-gauge line that starts from Tywyn on the coast and goes inland past the lovely waterfalls at Dolgoch and Abergynolwyn to end at Nant Gwernol, near the lake at Tal y Llyn. (It was built to take slate from the Nant Gwernol quarry to the coast, closed when the quarry did, and was resurrected in the 1950s running steam trains as a tourist attraction { the ¯rst of the `Great Little Trains of Wales'.) When Tywyn Rotary Club started Race the Train in 1984 { a 14.2m cross-country race over mountains, always run on Saturday afternoon in mid/late August { we soon got to hear of it. But it remained one of those things I always intended to do { like joining a running club In 1990 I tackled Race the Train as part of my training for the Abingdon Marathon (where I ¯rst broke 3hrs, aged 45). For those who don't know the race { and this piece is a naked plug for it { it starts in Tywyn next to the Tal y Llyn Railway terminus. The starting gun for the race coincides with the start of the train's journey inland. The round trip takes an hour and three-quarters by train, and this is the time to beat. We start by running through the streets of Tywyn, then head inland towards Bryncrug, turning o® the road to the right and over the railway near the 1m mark.

  • Dysynni Salmon & Sea Trout Catchment Summary
    Know Your River - Dysynni Salmon & Sea Trout Catchment Summary Introduction This report describes the status of the salmon and sea trout populations in the Dysynni catchment. Bringing together data from rod catches, stock assessments and juvenile monitoring, it will describe the factors limiting the populations and set out the challenges faced in the catchment. Action tables set out habitat improvements to restore freshwater productivity of salmon and sea trout populations. These tables also include some work which will be carried out by our partner organisations, not just Natural Resources Wales (NRW). NRW has a duty, defined in the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 to have Sustainable Management of Natural Resources (SMNR) at the core of everything that we do. By applying the principles of SMNR in all of our activities - from agriculture, forestry and flood defence to development planning - we are undertaking catchment-wide initiatives that will deliver for fish stock improvements. Our reports highlight the importance of considering the whole catchment when identifying and addressing fisheries issues; and of working with partners. NRW is committed to reporting on the status of salmon stocks in all principal salmon rivers where, in the past, Salmon Action Plans have been produced, and/or, in SAC rivers, where condition assessments have been undertaken under the Habitats Directive. In addition, the status of various fish species in all our rivers is reported as part of Water Framework Directive (WFD) assessments. This report refers to these commitments. Its purpose is to provide, for our customers, an informative and useful summary of stock status and remedial work planned - specifically for anglers, fishery and land owners; as well as other partners.

  • Winter Wildlife and Song, 8Th – 10Th January 2011 3 Days Discovering
    Winter Wildlife and Song, 8th – 10th January 2011 3 days discovering wildlife, landscape and music from Aberystwyth to the Dysynni Valley. Saturday 8th January – Machynlleth, Dyfi Estuary and Broadwater Our break began in Machynlleth, as the Cambrian Coast train pulled into the station at lunchtime, on time as usual. We met, greeted, and made our way around the corner to the warm and welcoming Wynnstay Hotel, which had a table laid out for us in front of a roaring fire. After a fabulous and warming lunch, we set off along the Dyfi Estuary, as the weather brightened, and the sun showed the estuary at its best. Our first stop was just outside Aberdyfi, at the mouth of the estuary. As we made our way across the small bridge down to the sheltered and secluded bay, we were greeted by a confiding robin and blackbirds, which abound in the wooded area alongside. The view up the estuary, with the Cambrian Coast railway line running alongside, was spectacular – this must surely be one of the most beautiful railway lines in the UK. As we descended to the bay, we could hear the piping of oystercatchers, and the calling of gulls in the distance. Scanning the estuary, we saw great black-backed and herring gulls, busy probing oystercatchers, and caught sight of two goosanders – as we watched, they took off and we followed their flight up the estuary. Confiding robin View up Dyfi Estuary Broadwater and Dysynni Valley We continued through Aberdyfi and around the coast to our next stop, Broadwater, the large area of water at the mouth of the Afon (river) Dysynni, just before it flows into the sea north of Tywyn, a habitat favoured by many winter waders and wildfowl.
