There are great walks and hikes around Barmouth (for all levels of skill and experience) which take you through some of the most ruggedly beautiful scenery in North Wales - many you can start from outside the front door (so enjoy car-free days). We have lots of walking books and maps for you to browse, so make sure you have a look in the library. There's good cycling too!

Mawddach Trail
Ardudwy Way
Mawddach Way
Coed y Brenin

For sun-worshippers there are many miles of beach and a short drive will get you to Wales' only 'official' naturist beach if you want an all-over tan.

Castles - of course, at Harlech and Criccieth, and the lesser know gem, Castell y Bere in the Dysynni Valley.

Quirky sights - try Portmeirion Italianate village.

And the Steam Train - through July and August travel the Cambrian Coast line by steam!

And loads more things...
