Walking the Wales Coast Path

The walk from Aberdyfi to Llwyngwril begins with a three-mile stroll along Aberdyfi Beach, before heading into Tywyn and beyond, over Pont Tonfanau and across the fields to Llwyngwril, with lovely views across the estuary to Barmouth.

After following the River Dyfi from Borth to Machynlleth, the walk from Machynlleth to Aberdyfi takes you back along the other side of the river to the meet the coast once again. This was a beautiful walk with spectacular views throughout, taking you into the hills and onto the aptly named Panorama Walk, before descending into pretty Aberdyfi.

AKA 'the one where I had a big panic that there would be cows and there actually weren't any cows'. After reaching Borth, the Wales Coast Path moves away from the coast and along the River Dyfi to Machynlleth in Powys. Because of this, this walk feels very different to most Wales Coast Path stretches, but it is no less stunning, with beautiful views of the mountains of Eryri across the river throughout, beckoning you towards the Snowdonia section of the path.

The Ceredigion Coast Path is a 60-mile section of the Wales Coast Path in mid-Wales. Passing stunning coastal towns and villages including Cardigan, New Quay, Aberaeron and Aberystwyth, and beautiful beaches along Cardigan Bay including Mwnt, Aberporth, Tresaith and Borth, this stretch is not to be missed.

In Borth, the Wales Coast Path and the Ceredigion Coast Path deviate, with the Wales Coast Path taking a right to begin the long trek around the River Dyfi, and the Ceredigion Coast Path continuing along the coast a couple of miles to Ynyslas, ending with stunning views across the river to Aberdyfi. This circular walk encompassed four-and-a-half miles of the Wales Coast Path, from Borth to Tre'r-ddol, and the section between Borth and Ynyslas.
