T.H. Roberts

Highlight • Cafe

T.H. Roberts is a quirky and tasty coffee shop. It serves great filling food, soups, cakes and drinks and there is plenty of room inside.

Dolgellau Town Centre

Highlight • Settlement

Dolgellau is a small, charming town on the southern edge of the Snowdonia National Park. Its cityscape is marked by the quarries in the surrounding countryside, which is why you can see here many cosy looking houses made of granite and slate. Otherwise, the small town offers everything a bike packer's heart desires, from restaurants to supermarkets.

It costs 30p for cyclists &pedestrians. Outside of those hours the gate is closed to stop motor vehicles, but there is a smaller gate for cyclists & pedestrians that remains open 24hrs.
