  • Twymyn above Cemmaes Road (Glantwymyn)
  • South Dulas above Machynlleth
  • North Dulas at Ffridd Gate
  • Llyfnant at Glandyfi.
  • Film LocationEdit

    The Dovey Estuary was used as a location shot in Led Zeppelin's 1976 film The Song Remains the Same. The segment of the film is where Robert Plant comes ashore on a boat, after which he rides a horse, making his way to Raglan Castle. Plant was obviously behind the choice of the location, being familiar with the area; Bron-Yr-Aur cottage is located on the edge of Machynlleth.
