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.

11 Sep 2023I walked this route Dolgellau to Tywyn using local bus services at either end (Lloyds Coaches)the route is as direct as it can be I think.Leaving Dol one is soon on clearly way marked sections (lanes/tracks/paths)taking one to Tan-y-Fedw eventually coming to a lane,and on to join the pony path,and after several miles reaching Abergynolwyn.Castell-y-bere shortly before one reaches Abergynolwyn is interesting to visit.Abergynolwyn has a tea room open till 3pm Tuesday to Sunday a pub The Railway Tavern currently closed but planning to reopen soon reasonably close is Abergynolwyn Station(Talyllyn Railway)no shops.Leaving Abergynolwyn insure the stream that joins the Dysynni river is on the right(this section is lacking clear way marking) However one. is rewarded with wonderful views.One then joins a very minor road to Bryncrug(Sustrans cycle network route 8)which is safe and almost traffic free.Passing Bird Rock and onto Bryncrug.From Bryncrug toTywyn is again a recognized cycle route some sections are close to a rather busy road some behind a hedge but it’s wide and safe to walk.I found no issues with access or obstructions,public transport links are better at Tywyn (rail and bus)both of which I have used. This is a hilly route in some parts but easy to follow.

10 Nov 2023Thanks for the great review! I walked the middle section from Bryncrug to Abergynolwyn back in March and enjoyed it, but have been feeling daunted about what looks like the bleak mountain section from Abergynolwyn to Dol. You've encouraged me to get on with it!
