We are the Aberystwyth Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

From Cricieth Station the route goes through the town past the castle & onto the prom to pick up the Wales Coast Path. The mile long pebble & sand beach is crossed before a small climb up over Graig Ddu after which the extensive sandy Black Rock sands 2 miles long await. The Powder house where explosives used to be stored is passed just before the path climbs up above the rocky coves just to the W of Borth y Gest. There is a wonderful view here as the path approaches the village of the Glaslyn estuary with the Snowdonian mountains in the background. The coast path goes around the small bay & into Porthmadog along the old trackbed of the railway that carried slate to the awaiting boats in Porthmadog harbour.
There is an initial bus journey on the T2 service leaving Machynlleth at 0820 arriving Cricieth 1010. Lunch will be taken in Porthmadog at the end of the walk, either in a cafe or devouring your own creations. The return train to Machynlleth leaves Porthmadog at 2pm arriving Mach at 1555. REMEMBER if you have a Welsh over 60's bus pass the return train journey is free Oct to March. PLEASE CONTACT THE LEADER TO BOOK A PLACE.
