Mawwdach Trail Circular


I recently spent a few days with some friends in a cabin near Lake Bala in Wales.  It is a truly beautiful area.  We are so lucky in the UK to have such a variety of gorgeous country side on such a small island.  We found this lovely walk beside the Mawddach estuary between Barmouth and Dollgelau.  You can do a complete circuit of the estuary from Barmouth or Dollgellau along this trail which is both a cycleway and a walkway.  This is 9.5 miles and I wish now we had done that – but another time.  We opted for a slightly shorter route off piste so to speak!  Unfortunately this meant walking along the road for a mile or so at the end.  We went back the next day and walked from the same car park at Arthog into Barmouth across the estuary bridge.

 Below is the official trail map.
