Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Alan P1 contributionBarmouth Beach is fantastic as is the nearby Benar Beach.But Barmouth itself is extremely run down and depressing compared to other seaside resorts. I can only recommend this location for the beach itself sadly.Written 3 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HebzPenrith, UK83 contributionsReally good bridge - lovely views and well maintained - unique perspective of the estuary. Suitable for walkers or runners of cyclistsWritten 13 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- lincoln421Oswestry, UK53 contributionsI did the full 4 mile route last weekend. Initially as it took me down a steep old packhorse road after the initial viewpoint I wondered if I was on the wrong walk. No 'views' down there apart from a glimpse through the trees but a pretty forested path. Then a very steep pull of probably a mile and a half to the topmost point of the walk. Worth it for the stupendous views up and down the coastline and across the hills. A flattish section across the hills running along the back of Barmouth which was still very wet underfoot in places despite the recent drying spell, then a nice descent back to the parking place. Would definitely do again with some company next time! The weather was about right - sunny but with welcome cloud cover and a gentle breeze.Written 5 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maria O'Rourke1 contributionWonderful boat trip around the Mawddoch estuary and out to sea a bit. An hour long. John, who did all the clever stuff to keep the boat moving, kindly helped my eighty nine year old mum on and off the boat in safety. He told us all about the shore and marine wildlife and the history of the area. There was no question he couldn't answer. A born teacher. Barmouth is a beautiful holiday destination and if you go there, I suggest you check out Emily's Ferries and if you find John you have truly struck gold. They also do a ferry that connects with the Fairbourne narrow gauge steam railway, though I gather there is a bit of a trek across the sand dunes once the ferry deposits you as close as it can get. Who wants to go abroad when we have Wales and the like?Written 4 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PRS48Brisbane, Australia166 contributionsThe harbour is at the mouth of the estuary close to the beach. Great views of the mountains and the long railway bridge spanning the water.Written 5 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ziggit13Chester, UK57 contributionsWalked the southern section, from Talybont to Barmouth and have to say, you'd be hard pushed to find fault with the views on offer. With far reaching views, from Snowdon to the north, Cader Idris in the south, the views are simply stunning, breathtaking even! Mountains, valleys, coastlines, beaches, estuaries, forests, lakes, babbling brooks, rivers, streams and to top it all off, Red Kites circling up above. Wow! A word of warning tho, it can be a bit boggy in places and it's not the best marked out path, but nothing that even the most inexperienced of walkers couldn't overcome. Go walk it, you won't be disappointed!Written 7 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Gemma ShipmanNottingham, UK54 contributionsHow cute is this. We almost missed it as it's slightly set back from the beach.
Nice little piece of history to go and look at :)

- Steve MRingwood, UK14 contributionsWe explored the heritage trail, but the path up the hillside is quite hard to follow, with no waymarking, and steep. But worth it!Written 27 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NikcyBNottingham, UK38 contributionsThis is a must see if you visit Barmouth, especially on a clear day.

There are information boards giving details about the dolphins. It is also a water feature but, unfortuantely, on the day we were there, there was no water.Written 25 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
