Corris a Mawddwy lies in southern Gwynedd, Wales, covering a scatter of upland communities around the villages of Corris and Dinas Mawddwy. The ward sits on the fringes of the Cambrian uplands with steep valleys, moorland and rivers, so it feels remote and very much shaped by its landscape - popular with walkers and anyone drawn to quiet, scenic countryside.
Historically the area is marked by slate and quarrying activity and a strong sheep‑farming tradition, with traces of industrial archaeology and the volunteer‑run Corris Railway reflecting that past. Today the local economy mixes farming, small businesses and tourism, and the communities remain small and close‑knit, with an emphasis on preserving local heritage and enjoying the outdoor environment.
