Dolgellau is an electoral ward in Gwynedd, centred on the market town of Dolgellau at the southern edge of Snowdonia. It sits between the foothills of Cadair Idris and the lower reaches of the Mawddach estuary, with a compact Georgian townscape, riverside streets and surrounding upland countryside that make it popular for walking, mountain biking and outdoor pursuits.
Locally the ward is strongly bilingual and has a lively arts and events scene alongside independent shops, cafés and community groups. Historically the area developed as a market and service centre and nearby Welsh gold workings at Clogau add a distinctive historic note; today the economy leans on tourism, public services and small-scale rural industries while retaining a marked local identity.
