Overview

 

We start today’s outing with a short trip on the historic Talyllyn railway from Tywyn to Rhydyronen. The walk itself begins with a climb along an old track to the highest point on the route at some 315 metres. We then descend to the lane in Cwm Maethlon (Happy Valley) before a further climb and descent toward the coast. Crossing the A493, we then skirt the Aberdovey golf course and head over the sand dunes, returning to Tywyn along the beach in the Wales Coast Path. The route offers varied terrain, with moorland tracks, paths through the attractive countryside and a stroll along a sandy beach.
