WALKING WALES<br />
Distance: 11 miles (18km)<br />
Time: 5-6 Hours<br />
Start & finish: Abergynolwyn (SH677069)<br />
Maps: OS Explorer Series (1:25 000) OL23<br />
Tourist Information Centre: Tywyn TIC – Tel. (01654) 710070<br />
Nearest Town: Tywyn<br />
Paths: Old quarry tracks, forest tracks, clear paths and some<br />
sections of untracked open hillside. Navigation could be difficult<br />
in some places with poor visibility<br />
This walk starts from Abergynolwyn – and just visiting the pretty little, one-time quarrying village makes the journey west from<br />
Tal-y-Llyn Lake more than worthwhile. But the walking is even more enthralling, with a mix of paths that thread their way<br />
through deep-cloven valleys and across broad, grassy summits, that offer huge views over the coast, the ever-impressive<br />
Cadair Idris and the northern end of the imposing Cambrian Mountains. Choose a good day to make the most of them.<br />
There’s also an optional return leg via the Talyllyn Railway. U<br />
