Walks in and around Dolgellau Town

The twenty walks are designed for those who arrive by car or bus with the intention of spending a few hours on a walk, rather than a whole day. Most of the walks are between 1.5 and 4 miles in length (the longest is 5.5 miles) and they each introduce the visitor to interesting features of the town and its surrounding countryside.

The walks enable the visitor to explore places they would otherwise be unlikely to find during a short visit: minor paths which unexpectedly lead to wonderful viewpoints; an old mill tucked away beside a footbridge over the river Aran barely ten minutes from the town-centre; an ancient well in woods just above the Tywyn road out of Dolgellau; an historic settlement located below the cliffs of Mynydd Moel.
