Neighbourhoods
This is the beach in front of the cottage just cross over the road and walk right for about 10 meters go down the little path till you get to the beach
there is a crossing for the train (gated) so I would say children need to be accompanied a cross this
Some stones and boulders depending on time of year as council do clear this
Big wide beach dog friendly all year round.
The sea can bring rocks in so at times there might be rocked to climb over to get on the beach not really accessible for everyone

Great place for a rainy day. Hard hat and torch provided. Steep steps going down into a series of caves. Dogs welcome. Granite and slate rock 500 million years old juxtaposed with shards of light from the surface creating a theatrical display of colour. Interesting information at each cave about how it was created and of the lives of those who worked there. Good views of the coast on a clear day from outside the cafe and shop

Portmeirion Village, I was lucky enough to go on a beautiful sunny day. So ice creams was a must ornate, architecture and unique that transports you to an idyllic setting that is part myth and the beauty of the place is that its on the Wales map. Takes around three hours to explore the village and shops, private beach and forest walks.

If you’d like to leave the car behind take a train along the coastal railway it has beautiful views and an easy day out you can get off at each station but I’ve only got off at Porthmadog
£19.20 for a return from Barmouth to Criccieth for 2 Adults 2 Teenagers. No driving and finding parking spaces. So easy and good value. They do not charge for dogs!! A two hourly service
The train station is in walking distance from the cottage
cross over the road facing the sea take a right 10 meters up the road before the next house you will see a little path down to the beach and train station. You can buy your ticket on the train

Beautiful flat walk
I cheated a little as I drove over the wooden toll bridge (70p) to George IVV pub parked up and walked
And after sat on the terrace of the pub with a glass of wine and a Sunday roast dinner

The Panorama Walk is an excellent way to get views of the countryside, Idris Cader, the Mawddach estuary and the coastline a short walk. There is a small amount of parking for maybe 8 or so cars at the top of Panorama Road or you can easily walk to the trailhead from town. Paths are generally well marked and obvious and it's not too challenging if you can cope with a bit of steep climbing.

Such a lovely hidden gem. I recommend walking the whole way up to the old stone bridge at the top then on to the ancient stone circle. So peaceful and an absolute delight. Access to the lakes is also possible but this is a further walk

Fantastic waterfalls easily accessible. Bit of a walk/climb up to the second falls. Definitely worth a visit - absolutely stunning. There's a lovely tea room/cafe by the car park which has a lot of tasty food too!
