Fairbourne is a village on the coast of Barmouth Bay in Arthog community, to the south of the estuary of the River Mawddach in Gwynedd, surrounded by the Snowdonia National Park. Before the seaside resort was built the coastal area was known as Morfa Henddol, while the outcrop now occupied by the Fairbourne Hotel was called Ynysfaig.
Fairbourne was founded as a seaside resort by Arthur McDougall (of flour making fame.) It is in an area listed by Gwynedd council for managed retreat due to rising sea levels. The original Fairbourne Golf Club (now defunct) was founded in the early 1890s. The club disappeared in the early 1960s.
The Blue Flag beach at Fairbourne is a two-mile stretch of beach, backed by steep pebble banks, which exposes a vast amount of golden sandy beaches from mid-tide level. At the northern end the beach joins the Mawddach Estuary, while at the southern end of the beach is squeezed between sheer cliffs and the sea. The beach is an attractive venture for people exercising their dogs, however, during the summer months there is a dog ban enforced on the central area. There is sufficient access to the beach for those visitors with prams and/or wheelchairs, making this a welcoming rural location for all. The beach is fronted by tank traps known as Dragon's Teeth dating from the Second World War.
The Fairbourne Railway has provided a link from the village to Penrhyn Point for over a century. It runs regular passenger services between April and October. The Barmouth Ferry sails from the seaward end of the Fairbourne Railway to Barmouth/Abermaw.
Fairbourne railway station is served by the Cambrian Coast Railway, which runs from Machynlleth to Pwllheli and operated by Arriva Trains Wales. Lloyds Coaches also operate a regular bus service to Dolgellau and Tywyn

Fairbourne Railway, Fairbourne - Barmouth Ferry
Alighting from the Cambrian Coast Mainline we join the miniature Fairbourne Railway for a run along the peninsula towards Barmouth Ferry, where you can alight and take a ferry accross the Mawddach Estuary to Barmouth. Along the journey the railway offers spectacular views up the estuary towards Snowdonia. Once back at Fairbourne I had a couple of hours before my train back, I took a walk up into the hills and discovered an abandoned quarry and an incredibly blue pool...

Blue Lake Fairbourne - Wales - DJI Phantom
There’s a hidden lake in Snowdonia National Park, guarded by towering crags. Only those who stumble upon the tunnel built into the hillside or abseil the cliffs can access the water, which is remarkable for its rich blue color.
Those who do manage to wander through the tunnel will find themselves emerging right along the water’s edge. A narrow path skirts two sides of the lake at the foot the vertical cliffs. According to local rumors, the lake is deeper than its height above sea level.

Blue Lake Fairbourne Snowdonia
The Blue Lake occupies high ground in the old Goleuwern Slate Quarry above Fairbourne and is one of Snowdonia’s secret gems. Whilst most of our attractions are well sign-posted, the Blue Lake is hidden away without even a sign at the start of the path which leads to the lake.
