This circular path is one of the most popular paths in the Dolgellau area and it follows the river Clywedog through its striking gorge. Originally, the path was built by Thomas Payne and his son; he was also the designer of the Cob across the river Glaslyn in Porthmadog. The work was commissioned by Baron Richards of the mansion Plas Caerynwch, which is further up the river, in order to extend the mansion's gardens. More recently, the Snowdonia National Park Authority has restored the old path on the eastern side of the gorge, keeping to the route of the former path where possible. As the whole gorge has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) care had to be taken during the restoration work to ensure that the site was not impaired. At one time the banks of the river Clywedog were bursting with industrial activity. There was a fulling mill, smithy, woollen mill and an iron furnace - some of which are still here today. The gorge also has a wealth of wildlife and special plants - there are otters, dormice and lesser horseshoe bats not to mention an important collection of lichen, ferns, mushrooms and liverwort. How many of these will you find? How to get there? From Dolgellau, follow the A470 to the south. After two miles, turn left for the B4416 towards Brithdir. Cross the narrow bridge, Pont ar Ddibyn, in 50 metres. After a further 100m there is a lay-by on the left with an oak signpost marking the path.

Great water falls in a lovely valley full of wild garlic. Easy circular walk for all the family. Quite good for overcast/ showery weather too.
