Approximate location — this spot is pinned to the nearest village, so the exact point may be a little way off.

A short signed path on the hillside above Barmouth, laid out in Victorian days as a viewpoint over the Mawddach Estuary and its long wooden railway bridge. It’s an easy climb up from the town, under 2km from the station, and takes in the hills of the Rhinogydd across the water. Open access.
