Features and History

Borth has a sandy beach and is a popular holiday seaside resort. There is a youth hostel in the village and caravan and camping sites nearby.
An ancient submerged forest is visible at low tide along the beach, where stumps of oak, pine, birch, willow and hazel (preserved by the acid anaerobic conditions in the peat) can be seen. Radiocarbon dating suggests these trees died about 1500 BC. [1] This submerged forest[2] is also associated with the legend of Cantre'r Gwaelod. [3] [4]
Cors Fochno, a raised peat mire and the only UNESCO Biosphere reserve in Wales is located next to the village together with the Dyfi National Nature Reserve and visitors centre at Ynyslas. The long distance footpath the Dyfi Valley Way passes through the Village.
On 4 April 1876 the entire Uppingham School in Rutland, England, consisting of 300 boys, 30 masters and their families, relocated to Borth for a period of 14 months, taking over the disused Cambrian Hotel and a large number of boarding houses, to avoid a typhoid epidemic.[5]
The town's main line railway station is served by the Cambrian Line.
Borth is also the location of the Borth Animalarium and Borth & Ynyslas Golf Club.
According to Morrissey, his hit single "Everyday Is Like Sunday" was inspired by Borth.[6]
Since 2008, Borth has played host to The Square Festival which in 2009 will include an attempt to break the World Record for most people Skinny Dipping at once.

[edit] Welsh Language

According to both the 1991 census and United Kingdom Census 2001, 43% of the residents of Borth are Welsh-speakers.
