IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Part of the route shown in the last two paragraphs on page 17 is incorrect and the instructions below should be followed instead.

Heading slightly left, walk up towards Hollins House Farm in the middle distance. Eventually joining a track, leave the field through a gate and continue up to the farm. Go right past the barns and farmhouse, following the track through a gate into pasture.

After a short distance, bear right at a signpost through the second of two adjacent gates. Follow a field path beside a fence to a gap stile. Without crossing, swing left back across the open field to a gate near the corner. Rejoining the track, go right to a cattle grid (B). Cross a stile on the left and follow a path beside a fence towards Aysgarth.

Pick up the walk again from page 18 as normal. Enjoy your walk!

The Coastal Footpath immediately to the west of Criccieth is closed due to cliff erosion.Thus between Point A and Point B an alternative route to that published in the Pathfinder Guidebook up to and including the 2002 edition is recommended.

Page 18, 1st column, second paragraph, replace with –

The walk starts by the castle entrance. Head west along the coastal road to reach a triangular green (A). At low tide you can simply drop to the beach and walk along the foreshore to reach Point B. At other times bend right with the road past the Abereistedd Hotel and walk uphill until the road narrows just past a scout & guide hut. Here turn left between gateposts and along a rough drive for Muriau (nb – not Muriau cul-de-sac). At the fold of cottages go to the right of the farthest house, Ty Cerrig, joining a gated, grassy bridlepath.

At the junction with a gravel lane turn left, shortly go through a gate and walk to the house. Turn right along the track to reach the gateway to another house. Pass to the right of the property along a good path. At the end of the garden turn left along a fenced path. This sweeps around amidst luxuriant vegetation to reach the beach at a National Trust plinth. Walk ahead 100 yards to a gate on the right. This is where the return leg comes in, but you should remain on the old lane just above the beach. As this bends right towards a farm complex, fork left along a grassier track, remaining above the curve of the secluded bay. Sublime views ahead stretch down the Llyn Peninsula’s serrated spine, whilst to the left Harlech Castle and the Rhinogs stand beyond Cardigan Bay.

Continue upstream alongside the tiny estuary of the Afon Dwyfor on your left. Where this sweeps left (B), look to your right for a path between two old huts and walk this between high hedges to an old gate and handgate. Go through and turn left along the farm road. This bends several times to reach another gate and stile.

The route of this walk as described in the first paragraph, right-hand column on p.66 of the editions of this guidebook published up to & including 2002 has been diverted for a short distance beyond Point E. Please follow the route described below to rejoin the main walk on the western shore of Llyn Crafnant before Point F.

Go through the gateway at Point E and turn right along the rough lane. Pass below a chalet and walk to and through the first of two gates across the lane. Cross the footbridge, right, use the metal gate on the left immediately beyond and then trace the main gravelly path ahead, marked here and there by yellow-tipped posts, up through the fir plantation to a ladder stile near a waterfall. Climb this stile and scramble up the slope to a low waymarked post; here turn right down the wider path, remaining on this to join the forestry road beside and above Llyn Crafnant. Follow this through to a lane near the monument at Point F.

Publishing regrets that part of this route should not have been included as a path for walkers in the 1996 edition of the book. Walkers may follow the 'Burma Road' to point A as featured, but the points B,C,D,E,F are deleted, there being no paths in that area. Walkers must return from A by the same route (total distance to point A and back again is 6 1 ⁄2 miles and approximate walking time is 2 1 ⁄2 hours). Care should be taken not to interfere with shooting and stalking during the season 12 August - 31 January. Care should also be taken not interfere with birds during the nesting season.

The route of this walk as described in the first four lines on page 23 of the editions of this guidebook published in 1991, 1994, and 1998 is incorrect. Please follow the short diversion below to rejoin the walk beyond these playing fields. From this gateway bear right, around the edge of the football pitch to a kissing gate visible 30 yards (27m) to the right of the Pavilion.

Go through this gate and turn left, following the tarred lane, then the path to the left of the bungalows to cross a waymarked stile.

Go left to another waymarked stile. Climb this and go ahead beside a fence (left) for 100 yards (90m) to a waymarked field gate on the left. Go through this and turn right along the field edge.

Pick up the route as printed in the book, from the words ‘…by a hedge on the right.’
