About
Porthmadog
Porthmadog, originally Portmadoc until 1972 and known locally as Port, is a coastal town and community in the Eifionydd area of Gwynedd, Wales, and the historic county Caernarfonshire. It lies 5 miles (8 km) east of Criccieth, 11 miles (18 km) south-west of Blaenau Ffestiniog, 25 miles (40 km) north of Dolgellau and 20 miles (32 km) south of Caernarfon. The community population was 4,185 in the 2011 census and was put at 4,134 in 2019. It grew in the 19th century as a port for local slate, but as trade declined it continued as a shopping and tourism centre, being close to Snowdonia National Park and the Ffestiniog Railway. The 1987 National Eisteddfod was held there. It includes nearby Borth-y-Gest, Morfa Bychan and Tremadog.

Nant Gwrtheyrn · 13 miles
Both names are for this middle peak of Yr Eifl. Yr Eifl is the name for this range of peaks. Yr Eifl is a plural of gafl (crotch) geifl. Yr Eifl we miss the 'g' due to the mutation. Rivals is a meaningless English corruption.
