Barmouth, forming part of the southern bank of the River Bann as it enters the Atlantic, is one of the earliest surviving coastal sand dunes in Ireland.
The archaeological importance of the dunes are also high, demonstrated by finds of artefacts in 1948, comprising prehistoric pottery, bronze pins, stone beads and flint tools and more recently a prehistoric dugout boat, recovered in the 1990s from the inter-tidal area adjacent to the site.
Since the discovery at Barmouth, the grazing units on the property have been decreased to afford the sensitive eroded areas time to recover.

 About the history of Barmouth
The small town of Barmouth, population of around 2500 souls for most of the year, is one of those places that you grow to love once you get to know it well.
From the late 18th century Barmouth became a favourite stop for the travelling well-to-do and notable people of their time wrote of their experiences hereabouts - Charles Darwin, William Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron, John Ruskin to name a few plus a host of less well known travel writers - all seeking the magnificently picturesque scenery.
Unfortunately, this new found prosperity was to be at the expense of maritime trade and Barmouth today sees but a token fishing activity with a few pleasure craft making up the numbers and there is little evidence of this seafaring tradition:we can just admire the splendour of the harbour with its mountain backdrop.

The Barmouth Bridge (Welsh: Pont Abermaw) is a single-track largely wooden railway viaduct that crosses the estuary of the Afon Mawddach river on the coast of Cardigan Bay between Morfa Mawddach and Barmouth in Gwynedd, Wales.
Passenger train services over the bridge declined significantly during the 1960s, when the Ruabon to Barmouth line via Llangollen and Dolgellau was closed causing all traffic to take the longer and slower route from Shrewsbury via Machynlleth and Dyfi Junction.
The first road crossing of the Afon Mawddach is a toll bridge at Penmaenpool about five miles (8 km) further upstream and suitable only for motor cars and light vans.
