From the world's oldest preserved narrow-gauge steam railway to championship links golf, low-flying jets in the Mach Loop and mountain biking in the Dyfi Forest, there's far more to do around Tywyn than a quiet seaside town lets on. Many of these are minutes from the cottages; the rest make easy, scenic day trips.
