  • 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.

  • CHARTS Heritage Railways Good Practice Site Visit to the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway
    CHARTS Heritage Railways Good Practice Site Visit To The Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway Introduction Railway Heritage was identified as one of the additional four good practices that the CHARTS project was required to consider. The Welsh Government was identified as the donor of this good practice and Partner 1 South Pelion and Partner 7 Vidzeme Tourism Association were identified as potential recipients on account of them both having heritage railways, and Partner 8 the National Institute for Research & Development in Tourism expressed interest in being an observer. It was decided to add on a site visit to the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways to the first thematic workshop on Climate Change held in Conwy on the 24th of September, 2012. A day long visit on the 25th of September was organised by Cadw with ECTN assistance. Background Narrow Gauge Heritage Railways are an important of the Welsh tourism product. There are a total of 10 narrow gauge railways which collectively carry in excess of 600,000 passengers in 2011. They are mainly run by charitable organisations and are heavily dependent on volunteer labour. Most were built to transport minerals principally slate from the mines to the coastal ports. The most recent one to be rebuilt is the Welsh Highland Railway at the cost of £28m with the aid of volunteers reopening a 25 mile route between Caernarfon and Porthmadog. The number of passengers carried by individual railways which reported figures for 2011 to the Welsh Government’s annual visitor attractions survey are listed below: Bala Lake Railway 20,420 Brecon Mountain Railway 72,439 Llanberis Lake Railway 73,539 Snowdon Mountain Railway 143,224 Talyllyn Railway 46,934 Vale of Rheidol Railway 41,319 The railways which did not submit figures were; Welshpool & Llanfair Railway, Ffestiniog Railway, Welsh Highland Railway and the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway.

  • Vision and Revision: Mountain Scenery in Snowdonia 1750-1880
    Vision and Revision: Mountain Scenery in Snowdonia 1750-1880 Peter Bishop PhD 2001 Vol.1 - Text Dissertation submitted in candidature for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. School of Art, University of Wales, Aberystwyth. Summer 2001. Thesis Abstract This thesis examines the visual depiction of mountain scenery in Snowdonia by artists, writers, illustrators and photographers from 1750 onwards. The scenery became associated with particular visual aesthetics. These are the topographical, the classical, the picturesque and the sublime. Its fundamental point is to demonstrate how these identities became established via a process of vision and revision. This study demonstrates the extensive range of visual material that has hitherto remained unknown. It is essentially a history of the mountain landscape of Snowdonia from the artist's point of view. Chapter one introduces four aesthetic categories that have been applied to this mountain scenery. The second chapter examines the role that Richard Wilson played in the visual establishment of Snowdonia and discusses how his painting came to serve the needs of the Welsh landed gentry and how, in the late twentieth century, this imagery is still being used in the promotion of north Wales. Chapter three examines the topographical aesthetic in relation to Dolbadarn Castle and Snowdon and demonstrates how this early viewpoint has predominantly retained its topographical status. Chapter four discusses Snowdon from Capel Curig and examines the classical identities that have been applied to this view from its first appearance at the Royal Academy in 1787 to its photographic appropriation in contemporary tourist literature. Chapter five examines the picturesque viewpoint of the Pont Aberglaslyn in connection with the tour guide literature, first recorded in the late 1770s but now ceased.
