About us

The Dyfi Valley Bookshop was established by Barbara Beeby in 1988 in a conservation area of the ancient market town of Machynlleth, mid-Wales. It has a relaxing atmosphere, a real fire in winter, and a friendly black Labrador called Blimey.

Machynlleth is a very attractive town and well worth a visit. It is situated in the lovely valley of the river Dyfi (Dovey) which runs through the hills to the Irish Sea at Aberdyfi nine miles away. Owain Glyndwr established the first Welsh parliament here in 1404, and the building still stands. Why not pay us a visit? You won't regret it.

Barabara Beeby now runs our sister shop in nearby Dolgellau (pictured):
