Mawddach Ardudwy Trail Walking Guidebook

by: David Berry
This book describes a long distance walk around the beautiful Mawddach Estuary and the ancient upland and coastal areas of Ardudwy, linking Barmouth, Dolgellau, Porthmadog and Harlech. The Trail provides a continuous 94 mile route exploring both sides of the Mawddach Estuary, the foothills of the Rhinogs, the lower Dwyryd valley to Pothmadog, then returning along the coast to Barmouth with a choice of routes on some sections. The route incorporates diverse landscape features, classic viewpoints, historic towns and villages, ancient highways, prehistoric monuments and other sites of historical interest. Both end points are on the national rail network and there are good public transport links at a number of intermediate points making the Trail suitable for individual day walks at different times.

The guide breaks the route down into 14 linear sections, some of which can be combined to create longer day walks. Each section has full route finding instructions in a narrative interspersed with notes in italics informing the walker of everything of interest along the way. Simple sketch maps are also included to provide a route overview.
