Walking in the Barmouth Area

This area of Snowdonia probably offers the widest range of walk type and difficulty that it is possible to find in the UK in such a concentrated zone:

Along shores and dunes at Llandanwg, Barmouth, Dyffryn and Harlech.
Alongside the river Clwedog for the Torrent Walk in Dolgellau.
Crossing the Mawddach Estuary then on up to the Panorama Walk and along to Penmaenpool Bridge.
Mountain walks such as the mighty Cader Idris the second most climbed mountain in Wales or the rugged Rhinogau mountains.
On a hot day the woodlands offer shaded walks through forests great and small such as Coed y Brenin and Coed Llyn Mair near Maentwrog.
Walks with a mining theme such as Gwynfynedd Gold Mine near Tyddyn Gwladys and the Glasdir Copper Mine. both within Coed y Brenin.
Lakeside walks at Creggenan Lake on Cader Idris and Lake Trawsfynedd, north of Coed y Brenin.
Real afficiandos should come for the 10 day Barmouth Walking Festival in September.
