| Walking at Llyn Cynwch in the autumn |
This is one of the nicest ways of spending an hour or so if you're in the Dolgellau area. I just love the gentle paths alongside the calm waters of Llyn Cynwch, where the roots of ancient trees - oak, ash, rowan, alder - are reflected in the shining levels.

The walk itself takes you in the loop around the low but rough hill of Foel Cynwch, and gives expansive views in all directions as you move around the hill. The walk itself is possible thanks to the Nannau Estates who own the land here - this is not a public right of way, but the Estate has been allowing members of the public to enjoy the walk for a very long time.

One of the finest views is along the broad and wooded Mawddach Estuary. Cardigan Bay out in the distance looks tantalisingly close, while the Mawddach itself is a truly lovely part of Snowdonia, and I think at least, the most beautiful river in the whole of Wales.
