Walking & Cycling

Barmouth is a great centre for walking and cycling for all abilities.

 

Whether you fancy a short excursion between coffee and lunch, or a longer, more energetic full day outing, there are options for all. In September the Barmouth Walking Festival offers over 35 guided walks over 10 days.

​

We have started putting local walks into the OutdoorActive app. You can view this on a PC or download the app to your phone / tablet. Once downloaded, each walk can be followed with GPS without needing a phone connection.  All the walks can be found here.

 

Cyclists are also well catered for. Barmouth is on the National Cycle way, with the 8 passing through. For those looking to cycle the full length from Holyhead to Cardiff, Barmouth is conveniently situated at the end of the first day. The 82 complements the 8 with an inland route from Porthmadog to Dolgellau, then it crosses the 8, and heads up into the foothills of Cader Idris before returning to the coast at Tywyn, then along the Dyfi estuary to Machynlleth.

​

Other nearby options include:

 

Coed y Brenin: nationally recognised Mountain Biking Centre with 8 routes from family friendly to black.

 

Antur Stinog: downhill centre with 6 different trails including a double black route.​​
