Penrhyndeudraeth Walks
This Gwynedd based town sits in a pleasant spot close to the mouth of the Afon Dwyryd. It is also located on the Ffestiniog Railway, a splendid heritage steam railway running into the surrounding Snowdonia National Park.
This walk explores the area around Pont Briwet to the south east of the town. Here you will find some lovely footpaths along the River Dwyryd estuary. In this area there's some lovely views across the sandy/muddy estuary to the surrounding rocky hills and mountains of Snowdonia.
The walk then continues east to visit the pretty Llyn Tecwyn Uchaf where there are
more nice waterside paths and views.
To continue your walking in the area head east to visit neighbouring Maentwrog Walk. Here you'll find the beautiful Plas Tan y Bwlch Gardens at the Snowdonia National Park environmental studies centre. It's a fine place for a walk with the picturesque Llyn Mair to see as well.

Penrhyndeudraeth - Minffordd Station. The present substantial stone built Ffestiniog Railway station buildings at Minffordd are on the "up" platform and date from 1887. There was a small wooden building on the "down" platform and this building, possibly dating from the 1870s, was in a derelict condition when it was demolished in 1956. A replica was completed in spring 2002 and was later shortlisted in the National Railway Heritage Awards 2002.
