The Meirionnydd Ramblers are a friendly and welcoming group. We offer regular and varied walks in the wonderful countryside in and around southern Snowdonia.
Starting from the small car park close to Llwyngwril station, we walk to the main road, turning right where we reach the church. The most strenuous part of the walk is next, upwards on the steep tarmacked lane to pick up the Wales Coast Path, which we then follow for the majority of the walk. This relaxed, airy walk follows the coast, undulating past ruins and along leafy lanes (leaving the coast path), behind large houses with history, through a quarry, ending the walk at Tonfanau station in time for the return trains. Although this is the official end of the advertised walk, some may enjoy an extension of 3 miles to include the Broadwater route back to Tywyn in time for a later train, these last 3 miles being on flat terrain with big views towards Cader Idris.
