Borth-y-Gest lies 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south of Porthmadog. Ships were built here before Porthmadog was established. This was also the starting point of a major crossing over the wide and dangerous Glaslyn estuary, and locals earned money by guiding travellers across the treacherous sands of Traeth Mawr to Harlech.
