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.

10 Sep 2023This is a reasonably direct route offering many good views and passing places of interest ,I walked from Machynlleth to Tywyn (5/9/23)Leaving Mach one passes the site of the bridge under construction that will replace the old narrow stone bridge over the Dovey.Crossing the bridge one continues west along the A493 west after a short distance one comes to a way marked road on the right (care needed on this section no pavement)A steep climb on a tarmacked road takes you to a path on the left to Foel Goch and eventually on to Pennal (pub/no shops)crossing the A493 one soon comes to the driveway Plas Talgarth(hotel/timeshare complex)follow the way marked route through the site and on towards crossing the A493 this will take oneto anarrow tarmacked road which will take one eventually to the of start of the panoramic walk(track)several steep climbs along this section.This almost takes one to Aberdovey,leaving the road one takes a path to the right to cemetery and the A493 again!Crossing the road follow the track across the railway line and onto Aberdovey golf course turning right and follow the way marked route toTywyn.Currently there are no trains running on this line from Sept/Nov(Mach toPwllheli)bus replacement and standard public transport do run but only every two hours.I enjoyed walking this route,there were no obstructions or access issues.This not a difficult route to follow but a navigational aid and paper map could prove useful.

15 May 2023Decent route and pleasant enough walk, even if you feel like progress is slow for the first 3 miles or so! It speeds up considerably once you cross the main road for a second time after the diversion through Plas Talgarth.
I walked this route from Mach, and got as far as Aberdyfi before time ran out and I had to descend (via the coastal path local circular loop) to make sure I got the train in time. I started at midday and got to the sand dunes and golf course of Aberdyfi around 5pm, with only short stops for lunch and tea. No major navigation issues, and the path was fine (and safe) throughout, although this was May in fine weather.

22 Dec 2021Most of this route is on the Wales Coast Path (though it’s not a very coastal section - more of a hill walk). It’s easy to navigate and is mostly on good paths, tracks and lanes. However, there’s a section of rough track between Cefn-cynhafal Farm and Bwlch Farm which had a large patch of quagmire when I walked it (in August). Some trail bikers helped guide me through it (and were probably helping to create it).
This route passes close to Aberdovey, shortening the route by about 3 miles if you start or finish there.
