Machynlleth

Machynlleth is a market town in the valley of the River Dyfi, between the mountains of central Wales and the sea. Its market rights date from the late thirteenth century. In 1404, during his revolt against English rule, Owain Glyndŵr summoned representatives from across Wales to a parliament here. The assembly expressed his claim to govern an independent Wales and gave the small town a lasting place in Welsh political history.
