Overview

AThe walk today starts by following the Afon Y Glyn, the quietest and least well known of the river valleys near Harlech, and continues using a short stretch of road to the village of Soar before returning to our starting point in Glan Y Wern. We begin by crossing the A496 to cross a bridge, turning left to commence our walk on the riverside path. Another bridge to takes us via a minor road to pass a cottage, Gefail y Cwm. The Afon y Glyn then runs for about two miles in a north easterly direction. A coffee break will be taken on Pont Dolorgan, probably about an hour into the walk. Leaving the valley we take a short stretch of road to pass Llyn Tecwyn Isaf and onwards to the village of Soar, via Coed Garth-byr. Passing through Soar we turn left on to a path leading us through woodland to where we started the walk. If the weather is fine it is possible to extend the walk along the embankment of the Afon y Glyn to the Afon Dwyryd. Seats are available overlooking the estuary towards Portmeirion. This would increase the length of the walk by two miles.
