Lôn Dywod leads from Stryd Fawr to the railway station. Its name (Sand Street) is a reminder of how much closer the sea was to the town in past centuries. This busy road is the main way out of town to the roads to Caernarfon and Porthmadog, and so carries constant heavy traffic. The house at the right of the picture is called Sŵn y Lôn (road noise) - a light-hearted play on more common house names such as Sŵn y Môr (sound of the sea) or Sŵn y Don (sound of the wave).
