The Meirionnydd Ramblers are a friendly and welcoming group. We offer regular and varied walks in the wonderful countryside in and around southern Snowdonia.
Today’s walk is a rail ramble, taking the train from Barmouth to Llwyngwril and walking back over the hills. There is an option to shorten the route by joining the train instead at Morfa Mawddach and finishing the walk there.
Our route heads out of Llwyngwril, climbing gradually on the Wales Coast Path. We follow a track through pastures, with views down to Cardigan Bay below, and continue to more open ground where we find an area of hut circles, standing stones and the remains of an ancient settlement. We descend via the old farmhouse of Cyfannedd Fawr and then more steeply through woodland, crossing the main road at Arthog and continuing along a lane to Morfa Mawddach. Those continuing to Barmouth can now enjoy an airy stroll across the iconic Barmouth Bridge, with amazing views inland along the estuary.
Group grade C+
