Eryri / Snowdonia Railway Walk
This railway walk follows a line that was actually built to bring tourists here in the first place.
In the 1860s the race to control a route to the Welsh coast began. This saw the English Great Western Railway build a line through Wales as far as Dolgellau, which is where our walk today begins.
Out of Dolgellau we follow the river towards the head of the Mawddach Estuary. From here the old railway makes its own path across the reed bed and flood plains to meet the River Mawddach at Penmaenpool Bridge.

We join a long curve in the path to arrive at Barmouth Junction, the final landmark before the stunning approach to the town across Barmouth Bridge.
This is where our walk ends. From here you will either need to retrace your steps, arrange transportation back to your car or consult your map for your next destination.
