Our walk starts in the small village of Llanfachreth in the hills above Dolgellau. We set out on quiet lanes and then follow paths through the Nannau Estate to arrive at the attractive lake of Llyn Cynwch. Here we pick up the popular “Precipice Walk” which we follow in a clockwise direction. Soon, we find ourselves on a path raking across the hillside, with spectacular views of the Mawddach Estuary far below and the ridges of Cadair Idris beyond. Leaving the precipice walk, we then make our way downhill, visiting the Coed y Brenin arboretum and the nearby river, before joining a lane which takes us back to the start.
