The ride through Wales is the best thing about Barmouth, a small seaside town one road through it. been up there a few times as i have family in Snowdonia.
Not too bad if the weather is ok.
enjoy the ride.

Jim you'll find that the area around Barmouth is great riding country and whilst the town itself ain't up to much the Mawddach estuary that it lies on the mouth of is a stunning place, the mountain Cadair Idris rolls down to Dolgellau to the South with the bigger hills to the North. If you do go then a pub worth a visit is the George III in Penmaenpool, about 15 mins from Barmouth- but there is plenty more to see too.

If you want anymore pointers as to places to camp, ride, drink or whatever just shout.

What's the beer at the George III ? Is it a real ale place ?.

Last time there I had a couple of Ruddles, they do have guest beers too- so yes it is a kinda real ale place and good food and real log fires too. But what makes it worth while is it's location

I did wonder about that as well!

Thanks for that Steppenwulf. I will get myself down there as soon as the weather improves a little. We could do with a drought.

Been bloody gorgeous here for a while now, the odd shower in the middle of the night- but that's all changing this weekend

BTW there are two roads to Penmaenpool, the one that is quickest from Barmouth takes you over a wooden toll bridge- 50p no exceptions. Just thought I'd mention it cos you see loads of bikes fumbling for change as you sit on the quay supping your pint

Clicked wrong area. Should have been one below. Perhaps my glasses need to be stronger or the Jack Daniels needs to be weaker
What a lot of brilliant answers and info though.
