Overview

Our walk from Barmouth will be almost entirely flat! We will stroll from the town over the iconic Barmouth Bridge, with amazing views of the mountains on both sides of the Mawddach. We will then turn right to follow the “Wales Coast Path”, which runs over to the Fairbourne sea defence. Rather than continuing all the way to Fairbourne we will turn right towards Barmouth. Here we will have a stop, to catch our breath, on the edge of the salt marsh. This will give those so inclined, an opportunity to forage for Samphire. It’s then easy to follow the minor coast road or beach path to the end of the promontory. We can eat our picnic lunch here or on the pebble beach. The ferry costing £2.50 will be taken back over to Barmouth.
