Porthmadog, known locally as Port, and since 1974, rendered into Welsh from its former Anglicised form, Portmadoc, is a small coastal town and community in the Eifionydd area of Gwynedd, in Wales. The town of Porthmadog lies 5 miles (8 km) east of Criccieth, 11 miles (18 km) south west of Blaenau Ffestiniog, 25 miles (40 km) north of Dolgellau and 20 miles (32 km) south of Caernarfon.
The town of Porthmadog developed in the 19th century as a port exporting slate to England and around the world. Since the decline of the slate industry it has become an important shopping centre for the surrounding area and a popular tourist destination. It has easy access to the Snowdonia National Park and is the terminus of the Ffestiniog Railway. In 1987 the National Eisteddfod was held in Porthmadog.
Porthmadog is located in Eifionydd on the estuary of the Afon Glaslyn where it runs into Tremadog Bay. The estuary, filled with sediment which was deposited by rivers emptying from the melting glaciers at the end of the last ice age, is a haven for migrating birds. Oystercatchers, redshanks and curlews are common and, in summer, there are flocks of sandwich terns. Borth-y-Gest, 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Porthmadog, is a village built in a shallow bowl which sweeps down to a sheltered bay, with hidden sandy coves and cliffs. Ships were built here before Porthmadog was established and houses, still known as pilot houses, were built at the mouth of the harbour so that pilots could keep a watch for ships needing them.
Morfa Bychan is 2.1 miles (3.4 km) south west of Porthmadog. It has a popular wide sandy beach, Black Rock Sands (Welsh: Traeth Morfa Bychan), with Graig Ddu, a rocky headland, at its western end. At low tide, rock pools and caverns are exposed. Sand dunes lie behind the beach, forming part of Morfa Bychan and Greenacres Nature Reserve. Tremadog, an exceptional example of a planned settlement, is 0.9 miles (1.4 km) north of Porthmadog. The village was built on land reclaimed from Traeth Mawr by William Madocks.
The Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, not to be confused with Welsh Highland Railway, is a three-quarter-mile (1.2 km) heritage railway. It includes an award-winning miniature railway, a heritage centre, a shop and a cafe. Porthmadog lies on the A487, the Fishguard to Bangor trunk road. The A498 runs north from Porthmadog to Beddgelert, giving access to Snowdonia. The A497 runs west through the southern Llyn Peninsula to Criccieth and Pwllheli. In 2008 the Welsh Assembly Government published plans for the A487 Porthmadog, Minffordd and Tremadog Bypass, which would reduce the amount of through traffic in the town of Porthmadog.
The town Porthmadog is served by three railway stations. Porthmadog Railway Station is on the Cambrian Coast Line between Pwllheli and Machynlleth. Trains, operated by Arriva Trains Wales, run through to Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and Birmingham. Porthmadog Harbour Railway Station at the southern end of the Stryd Fawr has been the terminus of the Ffestiniog Railway from Blaenau Ffestiniog since passenger services started in 1865.

Emergency Coastguard Helicopter Airlift from Southbourne Beach, Bournemouth, 2013-07-07
Happened to arrive at Southbourne beach to find an area of the beach cleared for the coastguard helicopter, with a man immobilised on a stretcher on the beach waiting to be airlifted. It looks like the helicopter bailed out of its first landing attempt because people were still too close. They instead decided to lower the paramedic down - he must have been a bit dizzy by the time he landed as he was spinning on the cable somewhat! After this video, they also lowered a fancier stretcher, and meanwhile the lifeguards moved people further away, so that about 10 minutes later the helicopter was able to safely land on the beach and take the injured man aboard. A little more info at
We had originally attempted to go to the beach at Boscombe but there was complete gridlock, which is possibly why he was airlifted instead of loaded into the ambulance that was already on the scene.

Final Campdown Blackrock Sands 2017
We only did the Friday night it was grey, wet and muddy, but it was the wrap up to the VW Festival season for George and I and it was a good jolly as always at Final Camp Down. I captured a bit of our time there and thought I'd share it, so here is a taster of what went down at Blackrock Sands Final Camp Down 2017 backed by 'Step Back' form the brand new album 'Ground Up'. Funnily enough the track was written at Blackrock back in 2014! Enjoy
