Local Walks Around Tywyn Guidebook

by: Des Marshall
The Dysynni Valley is perhaps one of the finest areas for walking in the southern part of the Snowdonia National Park. Tywyn stands at the seaward end of the valley and Cadair Idris stands at the head of the valley, a proud and dramatic mountain with a fine south-west ridge going across Tyrrau Mawr. The woodlands are second to none with many rare and beautiful plants. Sessile oak trees, with their contorted trunks and branches, add a feeling of eccentricity to many of the walks. There are also some of the most beautiful waterfalls, rivers and streams in Wales.

Whatever your level of fitness you will find in this guide walks to suit all abilities and tastes. Each of the 20 walks has a map and description which enables it to be followed without further help. Four of the walks are quite demanding and it would be advisable to take a map and compass on these excursions.
