Barmouth Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

A single-track railway with a wooden pedestrian walkway alongside, Barmouth Bridge is a particularly awesome viaduct. It stretches across the estuary at Barmouth and provides fantastic views in every direction, including of the Cadair Idris massif to the south.

You can walk and cycle across the bridge and it's toll-free as of 2013, although you can donate a toll. Due to significant planned renovations, the bridge periodically closes for months at a time so always check if it's open before you visit, particularly if you're using it as part of a longer hike for the detour is considerable.
