A walk along the Mawddach Trail from Dolgellau to Barmouth. Much appreciated 100 subscribers. Enjoy!
I've wanted to do this walk for ages. It's good for all abilities as you have a choice of several car parks or bus stops to go from. A little windy but I wanted to do a film in more realistic conditions. I normally wait until there is that one in a hundred day where there bright sunshine and NO WIND! Really pleased though for 100 subscribers and I am going to concentrate much more on these walks as they seem to hit a chord! Check out summit or nothing YouTube page too. They've been really supportive of me and they do super stuff which is fun. Just like I do! Thank you very much for watching. Another one nearly lost via YouTube capture.

Dolgellau is a market town in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, lying on the River Wnion, a tributary of the River Mawddach. Dolgellau is traditionally the county town of the historic county of Merionethshire, which lost its administrative status when Gwynedd was created in 1974. Dolgellau is the main base for climbers of Cader Idris.
Today, the economy of Dolgellau relies chiefly on tourism, although agriculture still plays a role; a farmers' market is held in the town centre on the third Sunday of every month. It is believed that Dolgellau Cricket Club, founded in 1869 by Frederick Temple, is one of the oldest cricket clubs in Wales.
The surrounding area is known for its wild but beautiful countryside and places of historical interest. It is popular with tourists who enjoy activities such as walking, hiking, horse riding, white-water rafting and climbing. Dolgellau is the main base for climbers of Cadair Idris. Aircraft enthusiasts also use the town as the base for the Mach Loop. Dolgellau is a good centre for visiting a number of nearby narrow-gauge heritage railways, including the Corris Railway, the Fairbourne Railway and the Talyllyn Railway.
The Great Western Railway line from Ruabon to Llangollen was extended via Corwen and Llanuwchllyn to Dolgellau, where it formed an end-on connection with the Cambrian Railways line from Barmouth Junction and a shared station was opened there in 1868. The Ruabon Barmouth line was closed in the 1960s under the Beeching Axe. The railway line was converted some years ago into the Llwybr Mawddach (or Mawddach Trail) which now runs for some eight miles from Dolgellau to Morfa Mawddach railway station, near Fairbourne on the coast. It is maintained by the Snowdonia National Park and is very popular with walkers and cyclists. It passes some estuarine areas that are important for water birds.
The site of Dolgellau railway station itself, along with about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of former trackbed, was used to construct the Dolgellau bypass in the late 1970s. Historical attractions, apart from the town itself, include the 12th century Cymer Abbey, a short walk from Dolgellau. The tourist information centre also has an exhibition on Quakers and there is a Quaker graveyard in the town. A field known as Camlan, in nearby Dinas Mawddwy, has been claimed as the site of the last battle of King Arthur.

Off the beaten track - Snowdonia's River of Gold (long trailer)
This is a 9 minute trailer to the new DVD from Cross country Films. Snowdonia's river of gold - the first episode in the series following countryside explorers Ian Coppack and Juliet Molyneux as they walk through some of the most beautiful and spectacular scenery in Britain. Following footpaths and tracks, they walk for 22 miles from the source of the River Mawddach near Bala Lake to the sea at Barmouth.
This fabulous walk has only been recently possible to complete in its entirety, since the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 opened up many mountainous areas to the public for the very first time.
During their walk they meet interesting people who live and work in the landscape. Then they find out about the gold....
B&B TAN Y GADER- Dolgellau
Here is a little video i put together ( in a short time ) of the beautiful and quirky B&B TAN Y GADER in the lovely little town of DOLGELLAU.
Tan y gader is a beautiful and quirky B&B house in the town Dolgellau, couple minutes walk from restaurants and pubs and bars and most importantly the beautiful walks that surround this town.
Jayne and mark made me feel very welcome after a long ride from the busyness of London town with a tea pot of tea and a slice of freshly home made welsh cake which was divine!
Mark told me about all the walks around after asking how long/far i wanted to go, was very easy to find your way, and any walk that you choose to do will have the beautiful views of the mountains surrounding Dolgellau. There are also cycle routes around here too, and Jayne and Mark are able to keep your bikes in the cellar in the house.
The walk of course was incredible. (find video through other channel GirlOnWheelsUK)
I came back to be refreshed with some more cake and a lovely chat with Jayne. The town offered some incredible local foods and some great wine bars too.
