For more adventurous types, longer walks take you further up the mountains, to Llyn Mwyngil, and ultimately to Cader Idris. If you fancy the beach, rock pooling or crab fishing, Tywyn is a 15 minute drive away. Why not walk across the bridge to Barmouth where the dunes, crabs and shells await? It’s a wonderful spot for mountain biking, with good tracks and trails from the front of the house.
