The Meirionnydd Ramblers are a friendly and welcoming group. We offer regular and varied walks in the wonderful countryside in and around southern Snowdonia.
The walk today starts by following the Afon y Glyn, the quietest and least well known of the river valleys near Harlech, and continues using a short stretch of road to the village of Soar before returning to our starting point in Glan y Wern. We begin by crossing the A496 and then a river-bridge, turning SW to walk along a riverside path. Another bridge brings us via a minor road to pass a cottage, Gefail y Cwm. The Afon y Glyn then swings round to run for about two miles in a NE direction. We’ll have a short break at Pont Dolorgan, probably about an hour in to the walk. Leaving the valley, we follow a short stretch of road to pass Llyn Tecwyn Isaf, and onwards via Coed Garth-byr to the village of Soar. Passing through Soar, we turn on to a path leading us through woodland back to the start.
If the weather is fine it is possible to extend the walk along the embankment of the Afon y Glyn to the Afon Dwyryd, adding two miles to the length of the walk. Seats are available overlooking the estuary towards Portmeirion.
