The Back o’ Tremadog


The day after a Snowdon summit day calls for a shorter walk and a low-ish level jaunt around the back of Tremadog proved a welcome tonic.  Parking at the old hospital, we walked up the lower reaches of Cwm Mawr to Erwsuran before reaching the very minor 265-metre top just south of Foel yr Erw.

Some thickly vegetated terrain led to us in search of a footbridge to cross the stream, which led to some very pleasant wild flower meadows.

A short spell on tarmac took us to some easy farm tracks that took us to the top of Cwm Mawr and some gentle downhill walking.  The final descent back to Tremadog was through some woods on a slate, mud and tree root footpath.  The shards of slate underfoot were particularly sharp as one of my fingers found out after an untimely slip on a particularly damp section of the path.
