    Visit the Quaker Interpretative Centre, inside the Tourist Information Centre on Eldon Square.

    Take a short walk out of town to see the ruins of the 12th Century Cymer Abbey

    * This lovely old building in the centre of Dolgellau had fallen into disuse after variously being used as a town hall, assembly room, cinema, dancehall and grain store since being built in around 1870. It has been fully refurbished and re-opened as Ty Siamas in June 2007. The centre has an interactive exhibition on Welsh traditional music, as well as a shop and cafe. There is also an auditorium which hosts regular concerts - check websites or local advertising for details. It is named after Elis Siamas, from the nearby village of Llanfachreth. He lived in the late 17th and early 18th Centuries and is credited with the development of the triple harp which is synonymous with Welsh harp music. It is said that he was court harpist for Queen Anne (reigned 1702-1714).

    Walk to the summit of Cadair Idris (2930 feet/893 metres). Parts of the route are very steep, but once on the shoulder of the mountain, the going is easier. There are several routes, but the closest to Dolgellau takes the so-called Pony Path, and takes about two and a half to three hours to reach the summit.

    In July, the town plays host to the annual Sesiwn Fawr[url=http://www.sesiwnfawr.co.uk/welcome.cfm]]World Music Festival. With 6 stages, there's something for everyone. (It has been announced that Sesiwn Fawr will not take place in 2009 but is expected to return in 2010)

    Pan for gold in the river at nearby Bontddu. Dolgellau was at the centre of a "gold rush" in the 19th Century and its mines at Clogau and Gwynfynydd were worked on and off right up until the 21st Century. You're extremely unlikely to strike it rich but it can be fun trying.

    Walk or cycle along the Mawddach Trail [url=http://www.mawddachtrail.co.uk/[/url],] a 9 mile stretch of former railway line, that runs along the scenic estuary of the Mawddach river, through [[Penmaenpool[/url]] and on to the sea at Morfa Mawddach. From here you can cross the toll bridge to [wiki=6cdd3d544e94f3ce6611a8c33b791dac]Barmouth[/wiki].

    Walk the Mawddach Way [url=http://www.mawddachway.co.uk/],]a 49k long distance circular footpath walk around the Mawddach Estuary.

    Follow one of the 6 Mountain Bike Trails[http://www.mbwales.com/[/url] in the nearby Coed y Brenin Forest. This was the first UK forest to be developed for mountain biking, and there are a range of tracks to suit everyone from families to expert mountain-bikers.

    Tucked away on the idyllic southern shore of the Mawddach estuary, the village of [wiki=ac9319a1060988cf6d92ad30c32deb80]Penmaenpool[/wiki] is only three miles west of Dolgellau. Penmaenpool can be reached by road (A493) or via the disused railway line footpath and cycle route which starts near the main car park in Dolgellau. The railway path "calls" first at Penmaenpool, but extends another three miles or so to Morfa Mawddach and the [wiki=6cdd3d544e94f3ce6611a8c33b791dac]Barmouth[/wiki] railway bridge which can be crossed for a modest toll.

    Continuing westwards from Penmaenpool, the main road turns to the south at Fairbourne. From here it twists and turns along the cliff tops through the pretty village of Llwyngwril to Rhoslefain. Just a few miles to the south lies the town of [wiki=4b4affe47936f779631b0f4813dab645]Tywyn[/wiki], with miles of sandy beach. Tywyn is also home to the famous Talyllyn Railway.

    If you fancy a day at the seaside, then [wiki=6cdd3d544e94f3ce6611a8c33b791dac]Barmouth[/wiki] is easily reached by local buses or by walking or cycling along the Mawddach Trail.
