MapSet out on a beautiful walk directly from Aberystwyth Station.
Aberystwyth Station to Machynlleth Station
Absolutely glorious route, beautiful, all kinds of terrain and natural beauty. A long, strenuous and glorious route following the Wales Coast Path the whole way, taking in coast, estuary, hills, lush wooded valleys, salt marshes and an ancient raised bog. Very steep and undulating with lots of up and down, stiles and steps and including paths hewn out of the rock and a final climb up Constitution Hill; recommended to split over more than one day. Follows the Wales Coast Path the whole way, well signposted. Crosses an ancient peat bog that helped earn the area UNESCO Biosphere status; wildlife includes butterflies and otters. Can be split over several days using the train at Borth and Dyfi Junction.
Tough: 32km, steep ascents.
This is a strenuous walk with a lot of steep hills at either end, with stiles and steps.
Lunch: Pubs and cafes at Borth, plus an ice cream at Clarach Bay.
