MAWDDACH TRAIL
MORFA MAWDDACH
Morfa Mawddach is a beautiful estuarine
valley that begins it's journey in the heart of, Meirionnydd and opens
out into Cardigan Bay. The Morfa Mawddach Trail guides you up the estuary
from Barmouth to Dolgellau. The most outstanding feature of the Southern
end of the Snowdonia National Park is the interaction between mountain
and coastline and this geological drama is very much in evidence on the
Mawddach. The estuary also has a rich variety of wetland and woodland
habitats which makes the walk a very special experience.
THE TRAIL
The walk from Barmouth to Dolgellau is 9 miles (15km). However it is an
easy leisure
walk suitable for all the family and involves no climbing. The beauty
of the trail is that it can be joined at a number of points en route by
taking advantage of local bus services, the Cambrian Coast Railway Line,
or by arranging personal transport.The route is also ideal for cyclists
and bikes can be hired at Dolgun Uchaf.The walk can of course be made
in reverse.
A TRAIL FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
The National Park Authority has provided
facilities for people with disabilities along a short section of the trail
at Morfa Mawddach, This part of the trail is laid with shale waste to
ease access for wheelchairs and has a handrail all along the route. There
are special toilets in the Morfa Mawddach Car Park and the trail has a
wide kissing gate entrance. Although this section is short, the surface
of the track bed throughout the walk is reasonable and users may be able
to continue along the entire length to Penmaenpool.
