Barmouth (Welsh: Abermaw (formal); Y Bermo (colloquial)) is a seaside town and community in the county of Gwynedd, north-west Wales; it lies on the estuary of the Afon Mawddach and Cardigan Bay.[1] Located in the historic county of Merionethshire, the Welsh form of the name is derived from aber (estuary) and the river's name, Mawddach.[2] The English form of the name is a corruption of the earlier Welsh form Abermawdd.[3][4] The community includes the villages of Llanaber, Cutiau and Caerdeon.
