The Vincents

We moved into Talybont in August 2006,
after 18 years in Sixpenny Handley.

Talybont is a village lying within the Snowdonia National Park and located on the A496 between Harlech and Barmouth.

Talybont is also a halt on the Cambrian Coast Line, a line that not only has fantastic scenery, but also on which steam hauled trains can be seen each year.

One of the most spectacular aspects of the Cambrian Coast Line is the Barmouth Bridge.

	This carries the line over the Afon Mawddach.
The bridge was opened in 1867 and included a lifting drawbridge section
	This section was rebuilt in 1901 as a swing bridge with two steel spans.
The bridge has not opened for many years (1977?)
	with the track now laid across the joints of the swing section
