The Meirionnydd Ramblers are a friendly and welcoming group. We offer regular and varied walks in the wonderful countryside in and around southern Snowdonia.
A pleasant ramble of along the Mawddach Trail, following the track-bed of the old Dolgellau to Barmouth railway line alongside the estuary of the Afon Mawddach. Enjoy wonderful views across the marshes and the estuary to the Rhinogydd mountains beyond, while looking out for the wildlife and the early signs of spring in the fields and woodlands alongside the track.
After a short walk along a lane, we join the trail at Morfa Mawddach. The going is easy as the trail is well made and substantially flat all the way. Those parked at Penmaenpool can leave the trail here after 6.5 miles, while for those returning to Dolgellau the trail continues along the estuary before veering round into the outskirts of the town and finishing alongside the Marian playing fields, 8.5 miles in all. Or, if you’d like to make it 10 miles, walk across the Bridge from Barmouth and join the group at 11:30 at Morfa Mawddach, with the T3 bus hourly from Dolgellau to get you back after the walk.
