Good transport links on the A487 mean the walk can be broken at Llanon....

Parts of the landscape felt very like rainforest like at points....

Hannah Cuesta

Devils bridge itself is stunning and a real discovery....

Corinna Faith

One of my favourite bits of the coast path despite being miles from the sea at points!...

Eddie Jones

One of my favourite stretches of coastline and an ideal route for getting between two charming towns. Care should be taken near the cliffs....

A walk that often matches date steam train route and rewarded with beautiful valleys views and Devil's Bridge Steam Train Cafe (Two Hoots Cafe)....

Rhys Jones

The final climb from the valley floor is very steep to Devils Bridge - going to Aberyswyth would be much easier!...

Neil Summersgill

The remaining route through woodland tracks and pathways is very attractive and atmospheric....

I got the train from Aberystwyth to Machynlleth which has some really good views. This is a hilly wooded area for a good section of the walk near Machynlleth and its really beautiful and peaceful to walk....

Neil Summersgill

An excellent route, varied with coastal walking, wetland nature reserve and woodland. Mostly following the route of the Wales Coast Path - so well signed. Refreshments available at Borth....

Tim Ryan

If it wasn't for the woodland section at the east end it would be cyclable throughout, and there is a Sustrans route that remedies this....

Hannah

Also as its a coastal route is possible bits are going to change over time as the coastline is being eroded fast....

Joe Downie

Aber to Borth (then train home), then on another day train to Borth, then walked Borth to Mach, and train home to Aber at the end....

Joe Downie

It's an easy route to follow and I really enjoyed it, but some people may not be comfortable with all the lane walking....

It is challenging enough to be interesting, but it is all on the Wales coastal path so it’s difficult to get lost....

I walked the middle third of this walk from the Devil's Bridge direction, starting in Goginan and intending to get to Aberystwyth and do the other half later, but found it impenetrable. The wooded bank to the north-west of Goginan was overgrown with gorse and all sorts of other prickes, and as it was December I figured it wouldn't be any better in any other more overgrown month. I wonder if the previous reviewer walked the other direction and found it passable when going downhill.. I tried a couple of workarounds further north over the same bank, but the footpath was blocked by a barbed wire fence which I must mention to the local footpath officer.!...

Hannah

Well, except that it often follows path hewn or worn right out of the rock, including the roman steps down to Mach, so it's not exactly new! I did it in three chunks, using the train - Aberystwyth to Borth, Borth to Dyfi Junction (a not-too-far detour off the path) and then Dyfi Junction to Mach....

Hannah

Beautiful, easy to navigate Slow Way along the Ystwyth river valley, almost all via a well-signed, mostly off-road cycle path on flat or gently undulating ground with paved surfaces or easy gravel tracks....

Mockymock

overall a nice route however there is a section at the start which leads you along a busy main road with no pavement. there is an easy way to avoid this which i will endeavor to suggest as an alternative route...

Sarah

An easy to follow route using the dismantled railway which is now a shared cycle/pathway. Nice views, flat route....

Tim Ryan

After village of Rhydyfelin is a picturesque and undulating short section through the woods before hitting a nice long sweeping flat section at base of valley pretty much all the way to Llanilar....

OliMorris

Lovely coastal path with the section from Aberystwyth to Llanrhystud v remote so less people. Highly recommend...
