Welcome to Dolgarrog Community Council
Dolgarrog Community Council serves a population of around 450. The village has a considerable history, the most notable being the Eigiau Dam disaster in 1925. In recent times, it has seen the closure of a major employer in the village - Dolgarrog Aluminium. In 2013, construction work began on this site to bring the UK’s first inland surfing destination to fruition giving the village a huge lift.
Surf Snowdonia opened on August 1st 2015 and is expected to receive some 75,000 visitors a year. Unfortunately after a fantastic few seasons, the site closed due to mechanical difficulties and currently is moribund. However we understand there are plans for the future.
The Ixora Hotel (formerly the Hilton Garden Hotel) is also located in the village and makes a great location to visit Snowdonia and the Coast.
We have many local talented artists, photographers and crafters who have created a Community Company and have their own fantastic shop in the village (COG) which has items available for sale. Check our archive (addition appending) to see examples of the terrific shopping opportunities. COG work closely with the Community Council and run events and exhibitions throughout the year.

Mae Gwefan Cyngor Cymuned Dolgarrog yn ymroddedig i waith y cyngor, pentref Dolgarrog, ein cymuned a Dyffryn Conwy.
Mae Cyngor Cymuned Dolgarrog yn gwasanaethu poblogaeth oddeutu 450. Mae hanes cynhwysfawr i’r pentref, ei hanes enwocaf ydy trychineb Argae Eigau yn 1925. Yn ddiweddar, mae’r pentref wedi colli ei gweithle mwyaf ar ôl i Alwminiwm Dolgarrog gau. Ychydig dros flwyddyn yn ôl, dechreuwyd gwaith adeiladu ar y safle hwn er mwyn dod â safle syrffio mewnol cyntaf Prydain i’w derfyn gan roi hwb enfawr i’r pentref.
Agorwyd Surf Snowdonia ar y 1af o Awst 2015 ac mae disgwyl y bydd 75,000 o ymwelwyr yn ymweld â’r safle bob blwyddyn.
