The unpolluted waters of Cardigan Bay host a resident population of Bottle-Nosed Dolphins, Harbour Porpoises, Common and Grey Seals. There are well over fifty species of angling fish (many summer migratory species).
A very fine day in November 2007 where the Dysynni River meets Cardigan Bay.
The sheep have moved down off the field to feed on the seaweed at the high tide mark.
Regularly, Peregrine Falcons are seen over the town and along the shoreline in search of there favourite prey - feral pigeons and Rock Doves.
Inland to the east, Ravens, Red Kites, Hen Harriers and Buzzards soar over the picturesque hills and mountains of the Snowdonia National Park, a truly spiritual area.

Long ago there were many places in Wales known as 'Towen'. Many have been lost in time, but "Towyn" as it became (the same as the place name on the north coast of Wales), was changed to it's current spelling in the 1960's. The change was made by the old County of Meirionydd County Councillors.
