The Meirionnydd Ramblers are a friendly and welcoming group. We offer regular and varied walks in the wonderful countryside in and around southern Snowdonia.
Barmouth has a history reaching back 500 years and was once an extremely active harbour serving the woollen and later the slate trades of the ancient county of Merioneth, along with herring fishing and other staple goods. The town also had a significant tourist trade from the 1750s and the railway, which came in 1867, saw the number of visitors grow enormously to become the town’s main activity. Today’s walk through the town visits some of the interesting places that have played a part in this history.
