One of Britains biggest Walking Festivals with 38 walks over 10 days. Covering new routes and old favourites in Southern Snowdonia. 

Set in North Wales on the edge of Snowdonia, this is one of the most beautifully wild river swims you’ll find. It starts on the sandy beach of Barmouth, and takes swimmers underneath Barmouth Bridge, a mile and a half wide iconic railway bridge.

This weekend of real ale (including local brews), live music and splendid Welsh hospitality is always popular. It all takes place in the picturesque village of Llanbedr on the banks of the Artro river, approximately seven miles north of Barmouth.

Weather permitting, music, fireworks & a bonfire on the island. Viewable from the prom.
