Step Into September

There’s nothing better than a good walk to blow away the cobwebs and work up an appetite for dinner.

There are walks for everyone in and around the Trefeddian - from flat pushchair and wheelchair-friendly routes, to mountainous ranges for the more energetic.

Pushchair and wheelchair-friendly walks

Tywyn Promenade

Two miles of promenade stretch across the sea front in Tywyn. With views up to the Llyn Peninsula on a clear day, this is a lovely flat stroll, easily accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs, with plenty of benches along the way.

Look out for seals and dolphins.

Morfa Mawddach Trail

This nine-mile trail along disused railway track is perfect for those with wheels. It's one of the most scenic stretches from Penmaenpool, with beautiful views down the estuary.

Visit the old signal box, RSPB information centre and observatory.

Tywyn Broadwater

A meander along the Broad Water, just outside Tywyn, is a delight for all the senses. Beautiful views and an abundance of birdlife make for a wonderful walk leading you to Ynysmaengwyn.

Discover a fairy glen, bug hotel and unique dovecote.

Gwelfor

For stunning, panoramic views over Aberdyfi and out to sea, this lovely circular walk will take you high above the village and along the beach.

Eye Spy St David’s in Pembrokeshire on a clear day.

Precipice

High above Dolgellau, with striking views of Snowdonia’s magnificent mountain ranges, this walk will take you through part of an ancient estate steeped in Welsh history. Meander through woodlands and meadows to the shores of Llyn Cynwch.

Look out for four bridges in the distance.

Dysynni Valley

Another walk steeped in history takes you along the beautiful Dysynni Valley in the shadow of the dominating Bird Rock. The rock is so called as it is one of the only inland nesting sites for cormorants in Europe.

Discover the story of Mary Jones and a 12th century castle.

Tarren Hendre

Standing at an impressive 1590ft, this is not a summit for the faint-hearted. The mountain can be climbed from either Pennal or Abergynolwyn, the latter being the most popular route.

Discover the remains of a Bronze-Age round barrow.

Cadair Idris

This is a tough walk and one which requires lots of yummy snacks, water and good navigation skills. For grandeur and rugged beauty, few locations equal Cader Idris which stands at 2930ft.

Look out for jets flying below you.
