The New Precipice Walk and the Precipice Walk are two entirely different walks. The New Precipice Walk is not easily accessible for buggies or people with mobility issues. The climb up through the forest from Llyn Tan-y-Graig is beautifully peaceful and the panoramic views at the top over the Mawddach estuary and Cader Idris are simply stunning. It's about 7km - although we got a little lost and added some distance! We went on to find the start of the Precipice Walk and walked around the beautiful reservoir Llyn Cynwch. On a sunny day this would make a perfect picnic spot for those with younger children.

This is a Grade II listed wooden toll bridge, which spans the Mawddach river, and was built in 1879 by the Pernmaenpool Bridge Company to replace a ferry across the river. A cottage was added about a century ago. A footpath and cycle track run along the former railway which runs alongside the bridge - the Mawddach Trail - which is highly popular. There is a public footpath on the other side.

On a recent sunny Wednesday morning, Hubby and me enjoyed a picnic in the public park/playground next to the bridge. We noticed this well-kept war memorial in the middle of the open space. Apparently, it was originally sited in the main Eldon Square before it was re-located in the 1950's to its current placement. I liked the traditional celtic cross design. There were numerous names (100?) listed on all 4 sides of local people who died as a result of World War 1 (1914-1918) and World War 2 (1939-1945). We must remember that these lists are not just statistics, but real residents. I was particularly interested in the only 2 ladies commemorated. On the front plinth (where there are no railings) I read the name of Mary Elizabeth Smith. She served in the Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps during WW1. She died in 1918 at the age of 42 at her home address (Park Lane) and is buried in the nearby cemetery....RIP. Also on the front, on the bottom right tablet, I read the name of Mary Rosamund Bennett. She served in the Auxiliary Terratorial Service during WW2. She died in 1944 at the age of 28 and is buried in Naples War Cemetery in Italy....RIP.
