About this walk
A flat, traffic-free former railway line running alongside the beautiful Mawddach estuary between Barmouth and Dolgellau, popular with dog walkers, cyclists and buggies alike. The wide, level surface and estuary-side setting make it one of the easiest long walks in the county, with shorter there-and-back options from either end.
