Dolgellau has been a market town since the 12th century, set at the foot of Cader Idris in the heart of Snowdonia — and it holds a record no other Welsh town can match.
More listed buildings than anywhere else in Wales
Dolgellau has more than 200 listed buildings, more than any other town in the country, most of them built from the dark local stone that gives the town its distinctive look. Its name comes from the Welsh dôl (meadow) and cellau (groves), a nod to the lush valley setting around the River Wnion.
A gold rush that still sits in royal jewellery boxes
In the 19th century Dolgellau became the centre of a genuine Welsh gold rush, with mines working the hills nearby. Welsh gold from this area is rare enough that it's still used for royal wedding rings today, including those of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Sweets still arrive the same way as everywhere else
Dolgellau's history runs through stone buildings and gold seams, not confectionery — so pick 'n' mix, bulk bags and trade cases for the town come by delivery, the same as the rest of Gwynedd and the UK.
