Welcome to Aberdovey, a special place, on the west coast of Wales.

Our picturesque village lies on the northern bank of the estuary, as the River Dyfi flows into Cardigan Bay. 
The beautiful sandy beach and the sheltered dunes stretch for miles towards Tywyn. 

Aberdovey is situated in Snowdonia National Park, reknowned for its majestic mountain scenery.  You can enjoy the walking and cycling in the foothills or climbing of Cader Idris, a short distance away. 

Many visitors are drawn to the peace and tranquillity of the area.  We enjoy meeting fellow christians and would appreciate your fellowship. Our church is easy to find on the seafront, opposite the Literary Institute. 

Thank you to everyone who contributed so generously to the collection at the "Carols by Candlelight" service.  The sum of £467.84 was raised and this will be sent shortly to Kevin and Gill Jones, late of Aberdyfi, to help them in their work with the despatately needy in Zimbabwe.
