Borth y Gest

Situated on the edge of the River Glaslyn, the seaside village of Borth y Gest lies just over a mile south of Porthmadog. The village retains much of its Victorian charm with its neat rows of Victorian houses leading down to the sheltered sandy bay, featuring a horseshoe shaped promenade of brightly coloured houses. The village is dominated by its harbour, where a number of boats are moored during the summer. In years past it was the departure point of one of the major crossings over the Glaslyn estuary and was a busy shipbuilding centre for a short time. -
