A horseshoe walk in the Fairbourne area of Gwynedd, affording great views of Barmouth Estuary. A fair climb uphill for half the walk, before leveling out followed by a nice decent. Stunning mountain scenery, an interesting quarry/mine works with a turquoise lake, a large standing stone and waterfalls on the route down.
