Our stay at Abergwynant Farm has been all too brief. We could easily stay here for another week or two, but unfortunately the popularity of the site meant that we could only book for four nights. So I am out early in the morning to wander down the Mawddach trail for one last glimpse of the estuary before heading back to the Unicorn and packing up for the move.

Sand On The Tracks

So it is early afternoon when we hop in the car and drive to the car park at Morfa Mawddach Station to then walk to Barmouth.

The drive from Much Wenlock to Dolgellau through the Cambrian Mountains is outstanding. For too many years I have avoided visiting Wales, following a most inhospitable experience over 30 years ago. But last year the locals were very welcoming everywhere we visited and the scenery was superb.
