If time allows you may wish to arrive the day before the walk to enjoy a ride on either the Ffestiniog Railway or the Welsh Highland Railway. The walk leaves Porthmadog across The Cob in company with the Ffestiniog Railway before taking to the woods and fields on the headland above Portmeirion, with wide views opening up across the estuary of the Glaslyn. Consider taking quiet lanes rather than the official main road into Penrhyndeudraeth. The path then makes a long loop inland to the crossing point on the Dwyryd, at first through open country with great views ahead to Moelwyn Bach and later through mixed forest, where route directions need to be followed closely. The Ffestiniog Railway is never far away. The route descends via lovely Llyn Mair to Tan-y-bwlch, with a short section of main road to Maentwrog.

If you are walking the Wales Coast Path in its entirety you will just have completed the Lleyn Peninsula Coast Path section from Caernarfon, a distance of some 145km (90 miles), over cliffs, moors, hills and beaches, following in the footsteps of the Bardsey pilgrims. See The Lleyn Peninsula Coastal Path (Cicerone: second edition, 2006), by John Cantrell.
