Broadwater
Broad Water, or Broadwater, is a salt water lagoon near Tywyn, Wales
formed from the silted up estuary of the River Dysynni. In the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the estuary was used by the
shipbuilding industry, as small sailing ships were launched to carry
peat from the local peat bogs. This industry was abandoned in the
nineteenth century when the estuary became too silted up, forming the
lagoon.[1] The outflow of the lagoon flows beneath a railway bridge
before entering Cardigan Bay.
