A joint coach trip walk with Shrewsbury Ramblers to beautiful North Wales. Starting and ending from picturesque Penmaenpool, where toilets, a café and a traditional pub are conveniently located, we begin by crossing the historic wooden Penmaenpool Toll Bridge spanning the beautiful Mawddach Estuary to Barmouth. From there there is a choice of two walks, both include spectacular estuary scenery, woodland paths, historic routes, mountain views and fascinating local history and the world famous New Precipice Walk with its outstanding seascapes and mountain views of the nearby towering Cader Idris. There is a shorter, easy paced walk of 6½–7 miles with 1,412ft ascent with a 2pm finish at the seaside town of Barmouth (the coach will pick you up later to take you back to the start)... or a longer 9.5 miles walk with 1,512ft ascent. Don't forget to bring a drink, packed lunch, walking poles if used and 30p change for the bridge crossing toll fare! The coach leaves Abbey Foregate Car Park 8am prompt so arrive in time to park, assemble and load up. The trip costs £20 (a bargain!). Both walks are graded moderate, start at 10am approx and both groups will rendezvous back at Penmaenpool by 3.30pm. Bokings are being coordinated by Shrewsbury Ramblers so you must book via the Shrewsbury Ramblers website, this is the link you need https://walks-manager.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/group-walks/penmaenpool-coach-trip-short-walk and for the long walk it is https://walks-manager.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/group-walks/penmaenpool-coach-trip-long-walk
