Barmouth Panorama Walk

IMPORTANT - PLS ARRIVE IN PLENTY OF TIME DUE TO ANOTHER EVENT TAKING PLACE IN BARMOUTH 

This 7 mile circular walk take you high above the town and on a clear day affords glorious views across the bay of Tremadog towards distant mountains on the Lleyn Peninsular, south towards Pembrokeshire, the Cadir Idris range and the whole of the Mawdach Estuary and the viaduct.

Initally we will climb the zig zag steps and paths out of town to a flag post at 'The Rock' . We then walk north following the Cambrian Way LDP onto higher ground in the Rhinog mountains - a very wild landscape. The return heads down through forest to re-enter the town via another amazing view point.  We will end the walk at the atmospheric and famous 'Last Inn' . 

The coastal town of Barmouth (also known as Abermaw and Y bermo) sits at the mouth of the beautiful Mawddach Estuary in NW Wales. The Rhinog mountains and sea define the size and shape of the town.  The vast and sandy estuary is one of Eryri National Park’s most scenic areas. The area was also home to some of Snowdonia’s rich industrial past. On the estuary’s northern shore, the historic Clogau gold mine sits high above the village of Bontddu. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Mawddach was also home to a busy shipbuilding industry. 

The spectacular Barmouth Bridge is a Grade II* listed single-track wooden railway viaduct stretching 820 meters across the mouth of the estuary is nationally famous. It has recently undergone the biggest restoration in its history. 

There's lots more to do in this area. The next day there is another walk nearby Dollgellau-orginal-precipice-walk .   If you are making a weekend of it, why not consider booking onto the Shell Island Camping weekend event too.  You could also message on the event forum below and arrange meet-ups. Message the event leader for advice about other places to stay, eat, camping etc and local public transport options.
