AA ruined abbey well off the beaten track, but surprisingly popular. the photos that I have posted show pretty much all of the abbey. It is a lovely tranquil setting, despite the close proximity of a small caravan park. We really enjoyed the place and feel it is well worth a visit, especially on a sunny day.
A hidden ruin just off the A470 Dolgellau road, Cymer Abbey is worth a visit as it’s so easy to find and access. We will return with a picnic next time to soak up the atmosphere on a bright sunny day.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Lovely Abbey ruins set on the edge of Snowdonia National Park. Small ruins but worth a visit. Caravan park next door with holiday cottage available right next to the ruins. Lovely quiet setting surrounded by Welsh mountains. Disused/former Road bridge less than 500m away which is also worth a look Dogs allowed on lead. Free carpark on the flat
Very peaceful place. Quite tucked away, although there's a camp ground/caravan park next to it. Well worth the visit if you are passing by
Lovely peaceful ruin. Nicely sited bench to sit on and soak up the atmosphere was appreciated. RecommendVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Small abbey site but it's very to see what was there, very atmospheric ruins, interesting disused bridge over the Mawddach River worth a visit too, and a short drive to the precipice walk tooVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Loved this place ,very interesting reading about the history, and how life must have been in those days hard to imagine, well worth the visit
A rather small ruin located just before the last roundabout on your right as you come towards Barmouth from the Midlands. We initially parked at the bottom by the old bridge but soon realised that there is a track leading up to the unpaved carpark a small iron gate is but metres away. Once through the gate the Abbey looms in all its glory. It does have open and closing times but is free. An information board gives a bit of information plus an artists impression of how it may have looked. There is a single bench and plenty of photo opportunities albeit they may be all quite similar depending on the weather and season. Luckily we had a sunny October weekday and it was perfect to perch on the bench with no-one else around barring a single motorcyclist who literally came and went.
Peaceful and quiet location interspersed in the summer months with an occasional teary youngster or playing child. Located at the rear of the caravan park. The approach road serves both. A swing on the hill nearby and one by the river. There is no longer a bench to sit on inside the ruin which once lent itself to quiet contemplation. The ruin walls would lend themselves to the artists pallette. Surrounded by hills Cymer Abbey does have car parking. Some space for campervans on the road. The main carpark has a height restriction of 6'6". Car park empty on a Saturday morning in Spring. Plenty of parking spaces in the Autumn. Parking at the Abbey also. Roads are dead ends so campervans are best parked facing the way you came. Free parking. The steel pedestrian gate is, to say the least, held upright by the hedge. The gate opens outwards only because it can no longer open inwards. Cadw maintained. Free entry. No toilet. Nearest toilets Dolgellau or Penmaenpool adjacent Toll Bridge.
