Aberdovey Walks
The town of Aberdovey (Aberdyfi) is located in a lovely position on the west coast of Wales. There's lovely walks along the estuary of the River Dyfi and the coastal path.
This walk follows a section of the Wales Coast Path from Aberdovey to the town of Tywyn, just to the north. The route runs along a flat, beach side path for about a distance of about 4 miles. On the way there's lovely beaches, sand dunes and fine views of the Snowdonia mountains in the background. In Tywyn you can also get a direct train back if you prefer not to walk.
The Dyfi Estuary is also a nature reserve and a great place for wildlife watching. On the walk look out for osprey and otter in the summer months.

The seafront, Aberdovey
These dunes shield Aberdovey Golf Course from the sea. Beyond them, to the left, a caravan park, then the white houses of Aberdovey itself.
This square consists of just dunes and sand, much of which is covered at high tide. Looking approximately south, towards Ynyslas across the Dovey Estuary.
Penhelig Arms. This is a very old hostelry and the food and beer are good. A painting in the bar shows sailing ships drawn up on the shore on 'this' side of the road.

NW towards Aberdovey Bar. Just about on the edge of the bar at Ynyslas, looking towards a group of anglers. The tide needed to go out quite a bit more to expose much of the sandbank at Ynyslas.
