Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

16 Jul 2023I walked this route Barmouth to Tywyn and enjoyed it very much,it is reasonably direct and has wonderful views long abandoned buildings the occasional large disused slate quarry forestry and plenty of sheep.The nature of route gives the walker several fairly steep climbs but that has it’s rewards.There a few styles and ladder styles but mostly metal kissing gates many looking recently installed but way markers seem to missing at many of these sites.After crossing Barmouth bridge(£1 toll!)one arrives at the A493 this road is busy turning left towards Barmouth after a short distance the footpath is on the right(no pavement take care)This path will eventually take youto rejoin the Welsh coastal path which will take you all the way to Tywyn.Finger posts and way markers are there but very inconsistent and I feel gps/paper map is essential to have to hand,I came across no obstructions broken styles or access issues and train /bus services are good but only every couple hours (I have used both).

25 Jun 2023Excellent scenic route, up and over the hills. Stunning views on a good day. Can get muddy on wet ones. Mostly fields (sheep) and country / forest lanes except for the entry into Barmouth (same as Barmouth to Dolgellau, the road to the railway bridge can be busy). It follows the Wales Coast Path for most of the way, cutting off to avoid the longish detour into Fairbourne. Wayfinding is easy (WCP), going is moderate with a couple of steepish hills. Stiles (photo) and fields make it a walking trail only. Regular trains from either end the the other end. One star off due to stiles and 3 detours. For the first two (starting at Tywyn), follow the WCP signs rather than the GPS. First is around a padlocked stretch near the Tonfanu railway station for a 100m or so. The second is longer and obvious - the farmer is very clear about not following the gpx (see photo), but the WCP is clear, keep going up the hill a little further. The third detour is after the track has left the WCP, and decending into Arthog. Follow the signposted footpath rather the gpx track. Again the locals are making this clear. In all cases there is a marked footpath.
