North Wales - Day 4

Today Tamsin had a blister on her toe so didn't come out for our walk.

So six of us took the bus to Harlech, and first had a wander in the town and saw the castle.


Then we walked down the hill and along to the salt marshes to the north of Harlech. We were following the Welsh Coastal Path but had to take a detour at one point because there was a "No Dogs" sign at the entrance to a field.

At the end of this section we got a good view into the large estuary near Porthmadog. We could see Portmeirion quite well.

From there we walked inland past the salt marshes and canal system near Ynys.




We walked on quiet roads for a bit, uphill to the side of a pond where we had a lunch stop.



After a bit more road walking we found a lovely woodland path, which took us back towards Harlech. The total for the walk was just over 15 km.



After quickly establishing that there are no decent pubs in Harlech, we caught the bus back to Llanbedr.

Later in the evening we all went out to the Victoria Inn for dinner. Shirley had fried lemon sole pieces, and Scott had pork ribs.

Later we tried the third pub in the village, Hafan Arto. They didn't have any good draft beer, but the bottled beer was fine. Back at the cottage we did some more quizzing and chatting.
