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.

Synopsis – Clogau St David's Gold Mine, Bontddu
BRITISH MINING No.3 BRITISH MINING No.3 MEMOIRS 1976 Madoc-Jones, G.W. 1976 “Synopsis - Clogau St Davids Gold Mine, Bontddu, Merionethshire” British Mining No.3, pp.12-16 NB This publication was originally issued in the 10 by 8 inch format then used by the society. It has now been digitised and reformatted at A5. This has changed the original pagination of articles, which is given in square brackets. ISSN 0309-2199 SYNOPSIS - CLOGAU ST. DAVID’S GOLD MINE, BONTDDU, MERIONETHSHIRE G.W. Madoc-Jones This mine is situated about 1½ miles from the railway station of Penmaenpool, a few hundred yards from the village of BONTDDU, in the county of Merionethshire. BONTDDU lies on a first-class road A496, between the county town of DOLGELLAU (five miles) and BARMOUTH (four miles). The old milling machinery, comprising 50 head Stamps and 5 Britten Pans, was dismantled and utilised for defence purposes during the war. The mine is held on a take-note, or lease, which is the usual document issued by the Mines Royal, and covers an area of 111 Acres 1 R, 6 P, with 1/25th Royalty paid on gold and 1/30th on silver. This area also covers two small freehold farms for which an annual rent of £20 each is payable for surface rights to construct roads, watercourses, buildings etc. to facilitate the working of the mine. THE GEOLOGICAL FORMATION I feel that only a preliminary note should suffice on this specific point since so many geologists of repute have studied the ground and written many masterly reports on this subject.

Rhododendron in Snowdonia and a Strategy for Its Control
AWDURDOD PARC CENEDLAETHOL ERYRI Rhododendron in Snowdonia and a strategy for its control SNOWDONIA NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY 1 Executive Summary Rhododendron has become established over more than 2000 ha of Snowdonia National Park and poses a major threat to native plants and animals. The factors that promote and constrain the invasion are reviewed, the distribution of the Rhododendron is analysed with respect to habitat, ownership and other factors. Most of the Rhododendron occurs in six areas. Woodlands and steep sites are particularly favoured sites. The history of control over the last thirty years is reviewed. Significant progress has been made over this period particularly in Dyffryn Ffestiniog and more recently south of Beddgelert and the south side of the Mawddach estuary. Using a GIS model, it is estimated that it will cost about £10M to effectively control Rhododendron in the Park and adjoining areas (Blaenau Ffestiniog, Corris, Aberangell). An attempt has been made to identify future priority areas for control based on the threat to areas of high conservation value whose features are threatened by Rhododendron. Control of Rhododendron throughout the Park and adjacent areas is feasible in the long term. The strategy proposes 12 recommendations. Co-operation between the main bodies that have a strategic role in land management will be more or less essential to ensure that control programmes can take place in an effective strategic manner. A key recommendation is that a Partnership is set up in order to co-ordinate future work. Several recommendations elucidate the role of the Partnership. For example, that it would maintain and share a GIS–based record of control programmes.
