Information about Tywyn, UK
Tywyn (formerly Towyn) is a town and seaside resort on the Cardigan Bay coast of southern Gwynedd (formerly Merioneth: Welsh: Meirionnydd, Sir Feirionydd), in north Wales. The name derives from the Welsh tywyn ('beach, seashore, sand-dune') and the town is sometimes referred to as Tywyn Meirionnydd. Extensive dunes are still to be found to the south towards Aberdyfi, and in Tywyn itself the beach and the extensive promenade are key attractions. To the north lies the mouth of the Afon Dysynni, to the north-east the rich farmland of Bro Dysynni, and to the east the hills of Craig y Barcud and Craig Fach-Goch. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the town was sometimes called Towyn-on-Sea. In Welsh the name is pronounced /'təwɨn/ or /'təwin/, whereas the English pronunciation tends to be /'tawin/. At the time of the 2001 census, 40.5% of the population were Welsh-speakers.
Agriculture and, since the arrival of the railway, tourism have been the most important industries in the area. The railway arrived in the mid-1860s, and had a significant effect on the town's development. Slate-quarrying in the Abergynolwyn area led to the building of the Talyllyn Railway in 1865, a narrow-gauge line designed to carry slates to Tywyn. This was the first railway in the world to be taken over and run by a volunteer-led preservation society, which took over the line in 1950 after the death of the previous owner, Sir Henry Haydn Jones.
The town's main line railway station is served by the Cambrian Line.
Other than St Cadfan's church, there are several places of Christian worship in Tywyn, including Bethany (English Presbyterian), Bethel (Welsh Prebyterian), Bethesda (Welsh Congregationalist), Ebeneser (Welsh Wesleyan), St David’s (Roman Catholic), and Tywyn Baptist Church (English).
The main schools in Tywyn are the primary school, Ysgol Penybryn, and the secondary school, Ysgol Uwchradd Tywyn. Former pupils of the secondary school (formerly Towyn County School) include Geraint Goodwin (1903–41), author of The Heyday in the Blood (1936), and Lord Gwilym Prys-Davies.
Tywyn was a major training ground for the amphibious warfare landings in the Second World War and had a strategic war base. Abandoned pillboxes may still be seen on the coast to the south of the town,
The Marconi Company built a Long Wave receiver station in Tywyn in 1914, working in duplex with the high-power transmitter station near Waunfawr (Williams 1999). In 1921 the Tywyn and Waunfawr stations initiated transatlantic wireless telegraph service with a similar RCA wireless transmitting station in New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA and RCA's receiver station in Belmar, New Jersey. This new transatlantic service replaced Marconi's obsolete transatlantic telegraph station in Clifden, Ireland following its 1922 destruction during the Irish Civil War.
Local places of interest include Craig yr Aderyn (Bird Rock), Castell y Bere and Tal-y-llyn Lake.
