The Brithdir Torrent Walk

Including the Torrent Walk, of course, but no proper waterfalls.

Ability requirements (key)

Directions

From Cardiff, take the A470 to the B4416, just before Dolgellau, signposted to Brithdir. After half a mile, park in the first lay-by on the left. SH 7610 1815.

Route

Head through the gate below the lay-by, and follow the path all the way down to the lower road. The torrents are below the path. Turn left, swing a corner, then turn left again at the end of the road. After crossing the stream, go through the gate on the left. Follow the riverside back upstream, along an occasionally stepped path. The torrents look better from this side, though some of the best are obscured in little gorges. There are no proper waterfalls though, and the word "torrent" is quite appropriate. When the path reaches a footbridge over the river, cross it and go through a gate to reach the road. Turn left and follow the road a short way to get back to the start of the walk.
