Porthmadog to Criccieth Walk
The Porthmadog to Criccieth walk is a scenic coastal route, approximately 6.5 to 11 miles long, depending on the specific path taken. It generally follows the Wales Coast Path, offering varied terrain and beautiful views of Cardigan Bay and the Snowdonia mountains.
Starting from Porthmadog, the path often leads through the charming village of Borth-Y-Gest with its picturesque harbor. It then continues along the coast, sometimes over low headlands like Ynys Cyngar, and offers options to walk along the expansive sandy beach of Black Rock Sands. The route then typically winds through fields and potentially alongside the railway line before arriving in Criccieth, a lovely seaside town with its prominent castle.
