Overview

A linear walk from Minffordd to Dolgellau under the flanks of Cadair Idris. Our walk starts on the route of the Mary Jones Walk, heading up on a bridleway between steep banks through Cwm Rhwyddfor. Reaching the top of the pass, we make our way alongside the main road for a few yards before turning on to a path which heads N and then NW over rough, grassy pastures.  The path becomes stonier (and usually wetter) as we climb gradually to cross the end of a low ridge. From here we begin our descent, a mix of tracks, paths and lanes bringing us down to Dolgellau.
