The Wales Coast Path used to divert far inland at Penrhyndeudraeth, with a good 17km yomp to reach Llandecwyn on the other side of the Afon Dwyryd. That’s now hardly a half hour walk thanks to the new bridge – Bont Briwet and one you’ll miss on the Porthmadog to Harlech section of the coast …

From Barmouth, the Wales Coast Path heads south to Llwyngwril. Crossing the Mawddach estuary is made easier as you can cross Pont Abermaw / Barmouth Bridge, rather than the long detour to Dolgellau that you’d otherwise need to walk.

The Wales Coastal Path from Aberdyfi (Aberdovey) to Machynlleth takes us far inland, parallel to the Dyfi Estuary as opposed to the coast.

The Wales Coastal Path takes the walker along the entire Welsh coast. Here’s the section between Porthaethwy / Menai Bridge and Caernarfon.

The Wales Coastal Path from Caernarfon on to Clynnog isn’t the most spectacular, with a far too substantial section following a busy main road. However, there are still plenty of highlights along the way, with the less rugged coastline providing habitat for wetland birds.

The Wales Coastal Path from Clynnog to Porthdinllaen is a real mixed bag, in a good way. It starts off on the main road, albeit on a decent cycletrack beside it, before ascending relentlessly to around 400m and descending just as rapidly back to sea level. There’s some coastal woodland along Porth y Nant and …

The section of Wales Coast Path from Porthdinllaen on to Porth Oer (or Whistling Sands or Porthoer – just don’t get into an argument online about which one if you actually have something useful to do with your time) follows a varied rocky coastline with numerous coves and beaches to explore. While most of these …

The section of rugged coastline of North West Anglesey is one of our favourite sections of the Wales Coast Path in North Wales.
